Access from home

[dave.81]

I use RDP but it's blocked unless i need it, if i do i just remote logon to our proxy and open it up then close it again afterwards.

VPN + RDP here just works so no need to change very fast, our LEA use logmein but it seems slow could be our ISP but then again not.

I phoned up RM (yes I know!) and asked if they could block port 3389 on the router, eventually after many questions they understood what I was asking for and proceeded to make the change. They requested I reboot the router which I did to then find they had blocked every port apart from port 80!

 

I'm just worried that the router had all ports open by default - sounds like a really bad idea to me

 

And then of course there's the RM factor

It could be that they've messed up the access control lists. It can be quite easy to do if it's a cisco router.

Anyone setup OpenVPN ?
