There are a number of solutions available for tunneling VNC traffic through a secure shell, thus creating a secure end-to-end connection. UltraVNC has a plug-in (DLL) mechanism for modifying the data stream; there is an RC4 (40-bit, 56-bit, and 128-bit) encryption plug-in available. Tridia VNC Pro (not a free solution - $49 per license) uses 1,028-bit encryption.

Typically the ISPs dhcp range won't change too much.. You might be able to use a wildcard to cover that range and simply trust that noone else on "that" subnet is going to be malicious... However, I would recommend getting some remote software installed on the system like pcANYwhere so that you could remote in and use the local browser to hit 127.0.0.1.. Just BE SURE to secure your remote software the best it can be. With pcanywhere that would be require symetric encryption.. I wouldn't consider using VNC for such a thing since the data transport is un-encrypted.
