The SSH RDP access PeteM setup for us works well. (I think this has been
well covered in past discussions some time back.) Gives us complete
access to all surgery computers remotely if needed. Prevents the
security headaches with VPNs. Main worry for me with VPN is ensuring
security of the remote network who has ready access to insecure wireless
hardware.
It became abundantly clear trying to write the security policy that the
number of constraints required to ensure security of the remote VPN site
was more hassle than it was worth.

Ian,
How is the problem of insecure remote networks any better with SSH RDP,
as you call it?
If someone can get control of your remote PC via an insecure wireless
network, and you are running SSH to the surgery, couldn't they wreak as
much havoc as the two-year old playing with the remote PC when its in
VPN mode?
