IP KVM, in which the foreign server basically gets only inbound Keyboard and Mouse and outbound uncompressed pixels.That is *precisely* what VNC is: an open-source IP KVM.
No, it's not. I won't go into the differences because other people already did in this thread.
And please don't turn this into "you're stupid", because I've seen others with the same setup. As mentioned, I know of a government agency with highly competent IT staff who had a similar setup: normal and sensitive work is on the desktop/notebook and Internet access (which is considered insecure) is on a remote machine, with a viewer on the desktop.
That proves nothing. For example, there are many SCADA devices owned by government agencies connected to the Internet, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to do so. -- “There's a reason we separate military and the police: one fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
