Introduction
TSX Gateway is a highly secure remote access solution. Through encrypted HTTPS connection, RDP traffic is forwarded, creating a secure VPN connection from the client to the TSX Gateway and further to the target RDP host over the internet.
Any host providing RDP connections can act as a remote server.
