>>Hello,

>>I have Watchguard firewalls in my office and home which are configured to recognize each other. Whith that in place, I access my office pc using remote desktop connection (mstsc.exe).

>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.

Hi Al,

An unauthorized logmein (or similar) installation is not restricted by the firewall, I want remote desktop access to require a password and an RSA SecurID (or similar) in order to get past a security appliance at the LAN entry point. But I have lack of ignorance of how to do it. :)
