Kryzysztof: You realize that giving yourself that access goes against the
expressed wishes of your client, do you not?

Although what Krzysztof asks _could_ be accomplished with Shorewall, the
Shorewall-based solution would be open to all internet users. So Krzysztof
would be subverting his own client's security measures; that's not the way
to keep happy clients.

The solution that Krzysztof implements (if he implements any at all) should
require strong authentication of the VNC client user by the proxy.
