    If your VPN is well configured such that everything is passed 
through as if you're plugged to the LAN, no guide is needed.  Just use it.

    Or maybe they want to exempt from more responsibilities?

    One of the possible "issues" I could think of is of course 
security.  VNC is such that one can get full control on a computer if 
the password is known, but this is true for a lot of things.  Not only VNC.

    Personally, I installed VNC in my company's computers so that I 
could established a VPN to my company and supervise those computers.
