I have a setup where I can access any of several systems behind a
firewall using VNC, including the "gateway" computer if necessary.
I simply have a copy of Openssh server running on the computer (XP
Prof) attached to the internet/LAN ( it has 2 network connections- one
to the LAN, and one to the ISP). I attach to it using a ssh client (
Putty on Windows for example, Mac OS/X comes with one) from "outside"
by stipulating "port forwarding" on the command line in order to access
the other system on the "internal" LAN I want to connect to. Then VNC
on my remote client is simply directly to the "local" port, and ssh
routes it to the "real" system I wish to connect to.
Openssh is free, and guarantees a secure connection.
The tricky part is that many IPs are non-static and get reassigned
with each reattach to the ISP. I use a program like DirectUpdate on the
gateway system to have it "update" any changes to the IP address so I
know ( even if I am away traveling) what the new one is if and when it
changes.
