and that VNC suggestion isnt really feasible and introduces a pretty nasty security risk on every PC you install it on.



There's nothing wrong with VNC within a LAN as long as the company is running at least a half-assed firewall. If someone is really worried they can run it on a different port or through SSH tunneling. We have hundreds of PCs spread across the state an have used it for at least a decade and a half with no security issues.

i respectfully disagree that a widespread deployment of VNC is a good idea and applicable here.

because doing packet analysis on all your egress traffic to see where users are browsing on the internet is totally scalable.
