I'm looking for some information and guidance on setting up and securing Remote Desktop apps and work folders. I have setup remote apps but am paranoid about putting the server on the internet. Currently users use a VPN and I would like to set this up as a browser based solution without the need for a VPN.

    Hi,

    RDWeb server integrating with RD Gateway maybe a solution for your requirement.

    You could publish your remote apps on the RDWeb server and users will connect to apps from a supported browser by a URL of the RDWeb server (https://rdweb.domain.com/RdWeb). Since you would not like to use VPN, you will need to first register the domain name for the web server and use the RD Gateway to guarantee the security.

    Please refer to below blog for detailed steps of RDS deployment with RD Web Access and RD Gateway.
