First a quick comment, if you want security on VNC then the best/easiest method might be to purchase VNC enterprise which has built in encryption.
If you really want to try ssh, be warned, its not always easy.
SSH does not work like VPN.
SSH can establish "tunnels" the documentation for this can be located where you got your client from.
(Local Port Tunnel)
SSH Client --------------------------------> SSH Server 5901-------------------------------------5900
so in the viewer on the client I type localhost:5901 and this connects via tunnel to the ssh server's port 5900.
There are other fancier thing you can do with SSH too like
SSH Client ------------------------------> SSH Server
-------------------------------> other computer
5901 -----------------encrypted-----------//////-----------------Clear------------------>5900
Let me know which SSH client you are using if you need help.
