Keep talking to Al, but I just want to reiterate that the VPN is not
necessary for RD to work, nor is the VPN needed so that the information
being transmitted is encrypted.

A VPN connection does make the connection more secure--less susceptable to
certain types of attacks--"man in the middle" attacks.

You can definitely work without it and many of us do, regularly.
