I would agree here. I would never leave port 5900 open to the internet.
VPN in and then VNC to the workstation you want to control.
There are many flavors of VNC now. The one I currently use is tightVNC
(google it). It has better compression, and typically does not have the
screen refresh issues previously mentioned.
There are SSH add-ons for VNC, but I have never used them. VPN is more
secure. VNC also works cross-platform which is a plus. But there are
also RDP options for different platforms now. RDP is also a derivative
of Citrix which is very efficient. Overall VNC is Fast, easy, and free.
For light remote access, it is great.
If you have the $$$ though, an IP enabled KVM is the way to go. Then
you get boot level access to the server. You can reboot a server and
even muck around in the BIOS, configure RAID controllers, etc. I have
tried IP KVM's from Startech, Belkin, and Raritan. Raritan was hands
down the winner. Raritan was also 3X more expensive.

I have a back to back setup but I do not allow Terminal Service or VNC
in. I VPN in to may workstation and then connect to what I need from
there.

Terminal Services; period.
Easiest to set up and use, easiest to publish through ISA.

Helo,
is it secure to use Real VNC (http://www.realvnc.com/) instead of
Terminal Service, for remote desktop management on ISA Server 2000 on
Windows2000 Server? What configuration is more secure? Which software
for remote desktop management do you recommend? Thanks
