That's what I was getting at, I'm sure the Citrix setup is fully compliant with whatever they need to do, but personally setting up your own remote desktop software that punches through their firewall is most likely something your friend is not allowed to do. Having employees remotely accessing the network via their own software is a huge security vulnerability from the employer standpoint and any halfway decent IT department should be blocking that, especially in the healthcare field.

 

This is the bottom line. If they have policies put into place, do not circumvent it. With today's security breaches especially stemming around healthcare and information around it, don't screw with it as it will get you in jail. Even if there is no breach, if it's found someone accessed sensitive patient information via unauthorized transport mean, it will get you fired and fined. Tell your friend to go into the workplace or access the data the way the policy outlines it.

Anything else, she is exposing herself and patient information by becoming a vector.

 

You would be surprised on how weak certain industries are in security and threat protection. Even worse, financial institutions are even worse shape!

 

Education..... One would think kids data is protected.

Well said.

 

That's what I figured but thought I would ask. Was mostly curious to see if it was possible at all.

Thanks guys

 

@ProZach how's the router working out?

 

Still trying to sort out the location for it, seems to get better reception than our current router.
Cox is taking their sweet time getting out to us/ submitting the details to the city. Might ask you to poke your neighbor about it if this keeps up

 

Got an email from Newegg to help answer this question. Not sure if serious...

 

Colby, I got a message on my computer about upgrading to windows 10.

Would it be worth it?

 

I like Windows 10 so far. But paying for about upgrade may not be worth it depending on what you have.

 

Windows 7 and 8 get free upgrades to 10

 

Anyone have an ASUS router? I have an RT-N56U (N600) Router with wireless completely disabled, URL and keyword filtering turned on. Last night in a VM, i started to download t0rr3nt5 and the router crapped out on me. 3-9 sec response times.
WTDUCK?

 

Ya my upgrade is free. I'll have to do some research. Thanks.

I've got 4 Asus routers at my house, so far so good. Try loading DD-WRT to it, or Tomato if its supported. Works WAY better.

 

Some of those routers are old, such as the

$95 Linksys WRT54GL Linksys Open Source WiFi Wireless-G Broadband Router, Speeds up to (AC1200) 1.2Gbps - WRT54GL

Linksys WRT54GL

 

That purple box was a hell of a router tho! I still use one and it still rocks.

 

Stock Tomato doesn't, but this guy's distro does: http://tomato.groov.pl/

I've been running it on a RT-N66u for about 4 years and more recently on a bunch of cheap and shitty RT-N10p and haven't had a single problem or any downtime that wasn't caused by me unplugging it.

Consumer wireless vendors absolutely suck at security and stability, I'd never run stock consumer router firmware.

 

Did you go into your client and set a new Port somewhere in the 40k range? because some of the providers are slowing down that default port. and remember to setup the forwarding port on your router also or performance will suck

 

No. Default ports to cycle. I did up the total connection count by 100 and it crippled it. It wasn't the provider slowing anything, it was the router.
