realvnc server behind proxy

[Scott C. Best]

Brendan:

 	I think I understand your setup to be:

Windows-PC <-proxy-> Internet <-> Ubuntu-PC

 	When I said "Viewer", I presumed you wanted to start a
VNC Viewer on the Windows-PC, and connect to a VNC Server that
could connect directly with the Ubuntu-PC (either via the
Internet, or via a LAN). To do that with proxytunnel, you'd
setup a proxytunnel server on the Ubuntu-PC, listening to TCP 443,
and connect to it with a proxytunnel client running on the
Windows-PC (or, ideally, on a Linux PC on the same LAN as the
Windows-PC -- proxytunnel requires cygwin to run on Windows,
which can be a bit of a hassle, but not too bad).

 	To do it with EchoVNC, of course, it would look like:

VNC Viewer <-proxy-> Internet <-> echoServer <-> VNC Server
or
VNC Server <-proxy-> Internet <-> echoServer <-> VNC Viewer

 	Which, if it works, is easier.

cheers,
Scott
