Hi,

Say I have given given access to some one to access my computer on
VPN.

Later I forgot about it to remove that access.

How can I know that some one is accessing PC using VPN. is there any
kind of indication shows up on desktop that some is watching you by
accessing your PC.

Say I am writing my personal mail and tha guy is watching me by
opening the account on VPN.

please tell me more ..

thanks,

Jimc

From context, I'm guessing that what you really mean is somebody
accessing your PC via Remote Desktop (using VPN as the pipeline).

If that's the case, my experience is that only one person can be
logged on to a PC at a time. i.e. If I'm on and somebody else
tries to RemoteDesktop to my PC, either I'll get kicked off or
they'll be unable to connect (can't recall which...)

OTOH, there are other facilities that let somebody "look over my
shoulder" from afar and maybe you're thinking of one of them.
A product called "VNC" is one of them - used the Help Desk at one
of the places I work. But it still issues prompts and asks for
permission....

So, bottom line, it depends on what the other person is using to
connect.... If it's not RemoteDesktop, my uninformed guess would
be that your PC would have tb running some sort of server for the
product in question.

Watching you? Well, no, not really. Think of VPN as a long Ethernet cable.
All it's doing is connecting someone's computer to yours. It doesn't
innately confer upon them the ability to spy on you in realtime in the sense
of watching you move your mouse across the screen. That doesn't mean they
couldn't have installed something that *does* let them do this (or capture
your keystrokes, such as a keylogger), but VPN alone isn't the culprit. VPN
could let them see *files* on your computer just as you'd look at files on
any networked computer, though.

Cutting to the chase, what's the purpose of your question ....is this
academic, or are you worried you've got a security breach?
