If I understand you correctly, then what you want to do is as follows: 1) Install the SERVER on your customer's PC (locked down tight to not accept incoming connections).
2) Install the VIEWER on your PC. 3) On your PC, run the VIEWER in LISTENING mode. 4) You customer then initiates and "ADD NEW CLIENT" command which allows him to show you his desktop. It will appear automatically as a window on your desktop when the connection is established. This way round, the customer has to actively elect to reveal his desktop to you, you can't just some along and watch it whenever you feel like it. Another advantage is that all the firewall management is done at your end since the connection is established from your customer's end. There is no reason why this shouldn't also work when tunnelled over an encrypted connection and is probably encrypted by default in the paid-for versions of VNC. You'll find details of port numbers, etc. for these "reversed" connections in the documentation.
