I have, in the past, successfully used SSH (PuTTY) to securely tunnel a
VNC session into a server from a remote client.
I am now wondering whether it is possible to use SSH (PuTTY) to secure
a reverse connection where the server does an "add client" back to a
listening viewer for firewall traversal?
If it is possible, which end of the link has to initiate the PuTTY
session, and do I need to tunnel anything other than port 5500? Does
the listening viewer connection even support ports other than 5500 yet?
