If one of the platforms is limited you need to make the rest of the
software respect that limitation so that you can remain cross-platform.

By definition quick and dirty alternatives aren't good, they just lead to
people trying to use them instead of using a more secure alternative.  If
you can get a VNC connection you can get a connection with a secure
tunneling program.  If you choose to not take the time to set up that
secure tunnel then that is your decision.
