If your office network allows you from home to resolve internal host names,
and create an RDP connection to the PC on your desk, it is not very secure.
How is your office network configured? Network address translation would
make it hard to resolve the computer name. Firewalls and proxy servers
would make it hard to create an RDP connection. Often offices allow these
functions once a VPN session is established.
