Trick a piece of software into thinking you are not using RDP

Question

I usually RDP into my work machine that has all my software and the computing horsepower I need to do my work.

From there I connect to a VPN that allows me to access my test and production servers. This worked fine up until Friday when my hosting company pushed out a update that does not allow you to connect to the vpn while using RDP.

Is there a way to trick my hosting software into thinking that I am not using RDP?

Thanks for your help.

I've just replied to this similar post:

Windows: How to make programs think they're not running in a terminal server session?

Basically the methods that change the value of the environment variable or the registry don't work for me. So at last the simple solution is to use Parallel Access instead of Microsoft RDP whenever I want to use the program that I want to trick.
