I'm not sure why you consider LogMeIn a "clear vulnerability". Your LogMeIn office host is sending only outgoing requests to LogMeIn's server farm, which are allowed on most networks. If you want to access it remotely, LogMeIn's servers mediate a connection from your remote computer to your office host.

Network/firewall vulnerabilities are usually counted as open incoming ports/protocols. If you're using LogMeIn or one of its competitors you don't need to open any incoming firewall ports at all. As long as you trust LogMeIn (and their entire business is based on trust), it's more secure than your Watchguard setup, which requires at least one open incoming port.
