And finally, from their own web site:
Should you believe it necessary to prevent the GoToMyPC
service from accessing your company computers,
simply block access to the host poll.gotomypc.com.
This will prevent anyone from starting a connection to access any
computer inside your firewall.
Name: poll.gotomypc.com
Address: 63.251.224.177
Thanks,
