Without seeing "ExpertVNC" I can only guess that there might be some kind
of HTTP tunneling involved also.  The "Add New Client" gives you the
ability to initiate the connectiong from the server PC, therefore not
having to worry about things like NAT devices in the way.  Given a good
firewall and proxy then "Add New Client" may not work because VNC doesn't
natively use a proxy.

That being said there are a number of free programs to tunnel things over
HTTP and other protocols.

I appreciate the effort, but unfortunetly it appears that some questions
regarding licensing still need to be answered by the folks at "ExpertVNC".
 While it might be a good product, I for one will not even test it until
these questions are resolved.
