Query on clientless VPN

We are told that the clientless apps only works with HTTP/HTTPS based apps, and therefore we cannot use it to allow MS remote desktop.

This is the problem I am trying to solve. Our users currently use their own computers at home. They connect to the corporate network using Global Protect, but of course this could be a security risk if one of the home PCs has a virus.

Buying everyone a corporate machine for home is one option, but costly.

Therefore I was hoping we could use the firewall to allow them to connect using remote desktop, without allowing any data to be transferred from their office PC to their home PC.

this really will depend on you security acceptance levels.

We only allow RDP via an RDS gateway in the DMZ. 2 factor authentication is required and no file transfer/clipboard/drive mapping etc. between client and desktop.

some good help here...

You can use GP to allow RDP application if you prefer but still prevent data transfers via RDP settings.
