No need for all that stuff... Go to www.famatech.com and download a 30 day evaluation of Radmin... It can be used in any kind of connection, is faster than any other solution, is almost free (starting at US$ 35,00 for each 2 computaers), can use encrypted connection and can use NT Level security... Wow! I am sure you will look no longer...

This way you will not only have a VPN encrypted connection but you are not opening up a desktop through the firewall. Once connected on a VPN, you can connect to any internal boxes with remote control software and do the work as if in the office. As for speed over broadband. You need a consistent connection speed. DSL is great for this, but Cable modem speeds vary to much and can cause sluggishness and frustration. Best of luck.

I don't think a VPN will work because the user MUST run the software on this machine, as if he was seated at it. I'm looking at gotomypc.com and pcanywhere. I don't feel comfortable using gotomypc.com as this is proprietary company information and I don't trust someone else having the access information for the workstation that has the info on it. My questions are as follows: 1. Has anyone got experience with the security of PCanywhere running over a DSL/cable modem connection? What should I watch out for? From what I understand, I can use HTTPS as one of the options for the connection. Anyone know the encryption level? Are all parts of the transactions secured with encryption? 2. How does the software work if it's over a broadband connection? My internal IPs aren't valid for routing. How does the software know a connection is being initiated? 3. Any better solutions come to mind? I'd rather have a PITA setup that's secure than a simple one that's not. 4. What security measures should I implement on the users PC to make sure that it's secure as well? I won't have physical access to it but for the initial setup. I'll be interested in seeing if this gets posted at all due to the recent acquisition of securityfocus by Symantec. Can't bite the hand that feeds you, I guess. Many thanks for any help.
