Generally speaking, RWW is more secure. VPN exposes the business network to
malware, etc. from the remote PC, where RWW does not.
Actually, VPN only exposes what you map through it, but most people map
ANY<>ANY in a VPN solution when they don't understand security.
We use VPN solutions and only permit TCP3389 to pass through them,
forcing the users to authenticate with the firewall with one
user/password that they have no control over and then their network
user/password for the terminal server or other.
We can also map a users access from the VPN to different network
services using the firewall user account.
So, many inexperienced people map all ports in a VPN, but there is
nothing that requires it, when using a real firewall/vpn solution.
