A workaround for me was to create manually the ssh tunnel from a
terminal : assuming tou can issue a simple ssh to your router with

  ssh <LoginName>@<PublicNameOfRouter>

the tunnel is started with

  ssh -L 9999:<VpnserverAsSeenFromRouter>:5901
<LoginName>@<PublicNameOfRouter>

assuming you've started the vpnserver on screen :1 (for screen :2 use
5902 in place of 5901 and so on)

The tricky thing is then to ask vinagre to connect to localhost:9999
(yes, localhost, not your remote router)... and it works!

NB the ssh tunnel is stopped by disconnecting from the ssh that started
it.
