I asked about wrapping VNC signals in HTTP to get through a firewall 
that seems to block almost everything else.  I've found a program, 
Stunnel, that seems to do the job, but I'm having a bit of trouble 
setting it up.  Has anyone here used Stunnel?

It turns out there is Stunnel and Stunnel4, which requires a config 
file.  On the Stunnel site, they have examples of VNC, in Linux to 
Linux, and Windows to Windows.  The problem is the Windows example are 
using pre-Stunnel4 and I am having trouble sorting through what is used 
for each end of the process in the Windows example.

There's also the issue of the SSL cert, which is something I've never 
dug into.  I'm trying to work this out, since it provides not only a 
wrapper to let VNC traffic go through most firewalls, but there are 
networking details that I've never dealt with.

Has anyone here used Stunnel?  It would also help if anyone can tell me 
how to monitor network IO on Linux and/or Windows so I can see what is 
going out and what isn't?

This looks simple, but networking is not my thing, so if anyone has 
looked over Stunnel and may be able to help or make suggestions, any 
comments are appreciated.

Once there's a working solution for this, I want to document it clearly 
(certainly in more detail than what I've found), since I know others on 
this list have asked similar questions.
