I've not looked at this particular service, but the standard method is to use
an external proxy. Your clients & servers connect with it at startup & then
any traffic can either be routed through the proxy, or the server & client can
be redirected to talk directly to each other. Since the client & server are
both making outgoing connections, no port forwarding is needed.
You can't implement this with standard RealVNC, but there are VNC-based
programs to do this (e.g. EchoVNC). I've not used any of these myself, so I
can't give you any recommendations here.
Cheers,
Robin
