If you have a login on any server on the 'net, from your PC you can:
ssh -R 22000:localhost:22 <server>
After that you can login to the server from anywhere on the 'net and:
ssh -p 22000 localhost
and get connected to your PC.
If the server has GatewayPorts enabled in sshd_config, you can skip
logging into the server too and just:
ssh -p 22000 <server>
from any computer on the 'net to get connected to your PC. In either
case, with some tweaking you can forward VNC or X over the connection
if you're a GUI fiend.
This method offers strong authentication and strong encryption of the
traffic. Much to be preferred in today's paranoid environment.
