i've got a vcn-server behind a router and unfortunately i can't do the port
forwarding on that router. so i focused on kaboodleproxy which is said to
work with vcn without any changes on routers but kaboodleproxy is not
available for windows, is it? thats why i wonder if there is any other
program similar to kaboodleproxy working on windows xp or any other way to
connect in my case??
One thing you can do is to set up a 'reverse' ssh port forward. I call it a 'reverse' port forward here because it works the opposite way around to the ssh tunnelling normally mentioned on this list...
What you do is create a *remote* port forward on the *vnc-server* machine so that the vnc-client end is listening for a connection on a certain port. When it gets a connection, it is forwarded to the vnc-server. (This will only work if you can directly see the vnc-client machine from the vnc-server - it won't work if the vnc-client machine is itself behind its own router/NAT which cannot have a port-'hole' punched in it. However, if you have access to a third machine which is directly visible from both vnc-client and vnc-server, you can point your ssh-port-forward to that instead.)
You need to have an ssh-server running on the vnc-client machine (or the third machine), and an ssh-client on the vnc-server machine. Once the port forward is set up on the vnc-server machine, listening at a port on the vnc-client machine (or the third machine), you point your vnc-client to that port, which is then forwarded through the ssh tunnel to the vnc-server.
One issue I've come across when doing this myself is timeouts on ssh, so the ssh port-forward on the vnc-server gets dropped before you connect at the vnc-client - something which you might be able to configure away with your setup (I don't use Windows, so I don't know if that's possible with ssh for Windows).
Hope that helps!
