Re: block remote desktop

no need for a technical solution, you could do the following

1) warn him that what he is doing is not allowed by company policy
2) notify your own manager that you have warned him (CYA)
3) warn his manager (and notify your manager that you have warned his
manager)
4) notify to HR (and notify your manager that you have notified HR)

after that... it is not your problem it is HR's and his problem

I have a user that is connecting to a remote desktop in order to access
websites from home that we normally block here at work.. I have blocked
the
IP they are connecting to but incase they have another ip which is
likely,
I want to just block outgoing requests all together. blocking 3389
doesn't
work.

Quite so, he could just change the port at home.

However what is the concern? I mean why are these websites blocked at work
(It sounds like some aren't the way you said it) - is it just time wasting
you are worried about or some security risk?

Quite honestly if he can access his home PC he could be running an HTTP
server on it to download from or if you allow FTP then an FTP server. I
think that HTTP issue might be a bigger risk than RDP. If he is doing
stuff
via RDP at home then it's his home machine at most risk. I use RDP all the
time from work to exchange stuff between work and home.
