Sorry to bounce this into a new thread, but I am responding to a digest message. I missed the beginning of this thread, but it appears Yoni would like to run a graphical nessus client over a non-trusted network. At work, I use SSH (PuTTY on Win XP) to a Fedora box at home running SSH and VNC servers, but with only the ssh port open. I set the PuTTY SSH tunnel setting to forward port 5901 (source) to localhost:5901 (destination). I then log on from the Win XP VNC client with localhost:1. The VNC session comes in fine. If I set this up for the box running Nessus I could manage a Nessus client fine over the VNC session. Alternatively, if I didn't want to do anything but Nessus, I suppose I could change the ports and tunnel the Win Nessus client across the SSH connection. I don't know how you would set the Mac end up. But when I set this up for PuTTY the howto described how to do it with a command line SSH client.
