Thanks Lane and Mike for your feedback. I use a VPN for clients that connect from the same PC each time and I tunnel RDP via SSH for some others.
I have a few clients that move around different customer premises and use the PCs there. Not all of these customers have static public IPs so the clients come in from a different IP each time. I was trying to avoid installing VPN clients on the PCs. I had in mind something similar to MAC filtering on a wireless, but I see now that that works because the PC connects directly. I did learn something about MAC addresses though! Thanks again to you both.
