Nope. Not something I normally do, but it was a useful workaround to a
problem recently when I could get RDP access, but not VPN access to my
network from where I happened to be working. (VPN ports were blocked, RDP
wasn't.) Since I had set the x64 box up for remote access for a developer
friend who needed to port something to x64, it got around the problem nicely.
