PCAnywhere uses both TCP and UDP. I also do not understand why a UDP based
protocol would be an issue in a FW-1 environment, since FW-1 builds a
virtual connection on top of those UDP packets.
Jason, PCAnywhere has had as many, if not more, security issues as VNC. I
personally like VNC because I can control all my servers from my HP handheld
since there is a VNC client for almost every platform out there. Another
application you might want to take a look at is NetOp, which is the fastest
of all of them. I was able to do true color video streaming using NetOp,
which is something very hard to accomplish with VNC or PCAnywhere. It
really depends on which factor is the most important to you (i.e. cost,
platform support, speed, ...).

My understanding is that the latest version (9.2?) of pcAnywhere uses UDP,
which seems to be a great reason to avoid it.

Subject: [FW1] pcAnywhere vs. 2000 WTS vs. VNC
All,
For reasons beyond my control, I must allow remote management of some
DMZ servers, from my inTRAnet to one of my web-farm DMZs. I'd hope to
force everyone to standardize on a single remote admin application,
however. Right now, my choices are pcAnywhere, VNC, or Windows2000 WTS.
I know that VNC has had tons of problems, vulnerabilities, etc., so I'm
pretty much going to try to weed that one out first.
Next, is pcAnywhere - I know it can support menial encryption methods,
and can do dual user auth, which is good, but is it better than.....
The third choice is W2k WTS - It's free, fast, and comes with W2K
Server, but I know NOTHING about it's security. All I know is it runs
on TCP 3389, but I don't have any clue if it has secure communications
capabilities (encryption), etc. Any ideas or opinions? Thanks very
much.
Jason
