Sure, it's possible.  I've done it against machines under my
responsibility.

At the job where I was involved in this, I had policy against users
running services on their VPN clients, reserved the right to audit their
machines for such services, and was investigating personal firewalls.

Did any of you come across an incident of VPN hijacking? Theoretically, if I
use an unprotected client to access the VPN, if someone hacks into my client
PC, he can hijack the session. Did this ever happen ?
