I recently joined this list and have noticed that a majority of the posts have
the same question - How do I connect to a workstation at work through a
firewall, across the Internet, etc.

I would like to point out that VNC is not secure.

From the realVNC FAQ:

Is VNC secure?

The only really secure computer is one without a network. VNC
requires a password when a viewer tries to connect to a server. This password
is encrypted to deter snooping, but the following graphical data, the VNC
protocol, is not.

In other words, if you are using VNC across the Internet without some sort of
tunnel (SSH, IPSEC, PPTP), you are exposing your data and information to the
world.


Please, please, please be careful.
