Ok, so I changed the -vnc to so use an outside world accessible ip: -vnc <outside world ip>:01
And now I connect. So it looks like it was ssh. But oddly, when I use netcat to create a server, I can tunnel to it just fine: netcat -l localhost 5901 ^ works fine with ssh tunnel. This moves me forward, but I really want to know why I can connect with ssh? Any ideas?
