Hey,
On a linux box you could run: ssh -L 3389:internalIP::3389 user@remotehost
You could also setup a VPN over SSL :) using OpenVPN ... it is free.

Dear All,
The company I work with recently required a remote desktop access and to keep the budget down, I used a XP Pro system to receive only one Remote Desktop user.
Since this requires the opening up of a port on the firewall, I'm quite concerned. I have limited the system to only one or two users who can log on. Since this is my initial foray into the remote desktop client (in the past, we used PCAnywhere, but it's getting more and more expensive(hard to justify purchasing a license for each system).
In what ways can I protect the remote desktop system from being broken into? (Well, aside from shutting it down.)
Any pointers appreciated.
Edmund
