Same idea for a software firewall, but you don't really port forward, you
just have to allow the connection in, usually by ip address. Zone alarm pro,
for example, will allow you to put in trusted ip addresses. Then when this
and only this ip address tries to connect to lets it thru and connects to
remote desktop.
The service actually gets listed as one of the svchost.exe's, I don't know
the exact .exe that turn rd on or off.
