asked on 

Win8 remote desktop

Have a new Win8 PC setup at a church.  The users need to connect to it over the internet to access an application on the desktop.  Would like a secure solution, hopefully using native capabilities.
What options do we have?

I know about VNC, but want to know if there are native capabilities that would be secure enough.

I use a Cisco RV082 (RV042g or comparable) at our church. I set up an IPsec VPN in the router and I can VPN into the machine. From there I can use built in Remote Desktop to access any machine there.

Thanks all - I will be checking into these in the next day or so.  I like the post by gerwinjansen so far.  
And rindi, I'll have to check the edition on that device.  I'm hoping it's pro, but no idea yet.  If it is, am I limited to the hardware vpn solution mentioned by thinkpads_user?  I know they just got a new modem/router combo from att, but not sure of the specs on that either.
