VPN could be considered a backdoor. If Joe User has a broadband connection at home with no firewall or local client firewall installed then when he/she connects to your VPN that is essentially a conduit for attackers to potentially compromise. This is an issue that I am dealing with now. Ciscos VPN client and Concentrator has a new feature that will push a policy on the client requiring they have a firewall installed like BlackIce etc.. If they don't it will enforce it's own basic firewall on the client while connected. I am working on the scripted install for my company now.
