VPN Alternative?

[SATech]

I recently came across an so-called 'alternative' to VPN technology that uses the available TCP ports (80, 443, and/or 8200) over any computer with an Internet connection and browser anywhere in the world. The solution is by a company called Expertcity, Inc. and the product name is "GoToMyPC" (

http://www.gotomypc.com).

Has anyone ever used this product and, if so, do you recommend it? Is it as secure as their web site discribes it to be? Pros/Cons?

Thanks, ________

it uses 128 bit encryption so traffic itself should be safe,
but the fact that authentication uses a password means that a hackerwill probably be able to brute force it...
I would prefer a real VPN solution with smartcards... has an additional layer of security... ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work
