Has anybody dealt with the services from https://www.gotomypc.com it
seems to allow end users to completely circumvent an existing network
security infrastructure.

The user signs up with gotomypc and establishes a out bound connection
through the firewall to a go to my pc server, then there server listens
for a connection that is connected to your internal network
and the scariest thing is that the listining ports for inbound
connections are on a gotomypcserver so how would you even audit?.
