I've used it for 2 years. It's been fairly reliable and on the road, a godsend 
Unlike MS Remote and many of the others, nothing is needed other then a very small service to run on the client. All that is needed on the other end is a browser and the new Java client allows virtually any browser to be used. You can make up a list of one-time passwords for use at public cafe type of PCs.

The poll is just port 8200 using ICMP. It's basicly pinging home to see the if there servers are there. Block that and gotomypc.com servers will say the client is not available. This will not stop someone from using gotomypc to GET to a client outside of your network. The application uses port 80 and HTTPS for the outbound connection.
You would need to block the servers themselves or the entire site of gotomypc.com

I feel that if possible
1) create your own simple program to transfer files from a remote PC
2)use routers for added security by putting ACLs
3)put sure you have ANtivirus software inside your PCs
However as enterprise or corporate i think they will not risk having this kind of software.As you will never know what data or backdoors they have created behind your back.

Why created it? You can use several free programs that will tunnel your data through any firewall by use of outside proxies or other means. One program uses SSH to encrypte your data and wraps it in a HTTP header so it appears to be valid web traffic. So not only does the data get through the firewall, if you spot it, you can not tell what the data is due to the encryption.
