Hi I followed the vnc sites instructions on port-forwarding. It worked first time! I've heard that ssh -C does better than tight VNC. Your connection on the internet is not secure! (with tight-vnc vs ssh)
Anybody want a simple howto? Post YES and I'll write one up and contribute it. It's really easy.
