Has anyone had any experience with "Gotomypc.com" for
remote access? They claim to be as secure as a VPN.

They with hold the detailed technical information of thier product/service so there is no way to compare it with anything other than the hype of the marketing. Secure as a VPN based on what technical merit? None. A+ N+ Sec+ SME/Sec+

I've had one client setup on their service, and it worked well. Unfortunatly, it worked well for a hacker who got in to their network through gotomypc.com. Seems their authentication isn't as secure as it should be for an internet/web-based VNC option.

For direct connections, I've had a better time and feel more comfortable with Symantec/Norton's pcAnywhere, and even more so with Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe.
