GoToMyPC, GoToAssist, etc.

[travelingregbaker at yahoo.com (Gregory Baker)]

Rick,

We've blocked & set policies accordingly for Gotomypc & remotelyAnywhere/logmein in our infrastructure. House consel 
voiced concerns about proprietary information security. 

However, if I understand your email correctly your internal users are reaching out to other machines in a support 
capacity. We have this issue and overcome this by getting a bomgar B100 device which works exactly like gotomypc but is 
totally under our control. Of course one needs to provide a wan facing ip address with tcp 80 & 443 ports.

$.02 deposited.
