Hi Fernando,

nowadays there is a lot of VPN-SSL platforms that offer Terminal
Servers sessions through Java Applets. So you have the security
provided by an VPN-SSL access (clients have no direct access to
Terminal Server) and the functionalities of TS sesions.

I've tested Juniper's SA and they can do what I've told you [1].
Besides Fortigate UTM firewalls have VPN-SSL capabilities with TS
support over Java Applets [2]. If you prefer open source options I've
heard about some of them but I have no direct experience with any.
