    i dealt with this site/issue about 6 months ago.  ideally, you should
    not have to be bothering yourself with auditing gotomypc at all, because
    no sane, responsible network admin would ever let his users connect to
    gotomypc in the first place.  for information about which host network
    admins need to block, go here:

    #securitykeep
    (sorry about the anonymization, but i had to use it since we, of course,
    block all connections to all known gotomypc hosts, IP blocks)

    Has anybody dealt with the services from https://www.gotomypc.com it
    seems to allow end users to completely circumvent an existing network
    security infrastructure.
    
    The user signs up with gotomypc and establishes a out bound connection
    through the firewall to a go to my pc server, then there server listens
    for a connection that is connected to your internal network
    and the scariest thing is that the listining ports for inbound
    connections are on a gotomypcserver so how would you even audit?.
