I need to set up a remote control scheme for a friend. The computer he wants to control runs XP and so does the laptop from which he wants to control it. Given that, I don't see the point in installing VNC when Microsoft's Remote Desktop will work. <br> <br> For security, though, I'm wondering if I need to setup stunnel. If I were setting up VNC, I would secure the connection using stunnel, but do I need to do this for Microsoft's Remote Desktop? I could speculate as whether the Remote Desktop needs more security, but I'd rather not set it up, if it's not needed - reason being that the less I put on my friend's computers, the less I need to maintain for him.<br> <br> Anyone out there using Remote Desktop over an Internet connection? Should I wrap SSL around it? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.22469 Thu, 11 Aug 2005 09:50:10 -0800 MicrosoftRemoteDesktop ssl stunnel VNC clearlynuts
