AFAIK that's not possible with VNC. If the client is behind a NAT firewall it wont work without a forwarded port. No good if you have a non tech-savy customer or they have many desktops you need to access.
I use a program called DeskShare. Not free but works OK. Enables you to put a DeskShare icon in your app. Customer clicks on the icon which asks for a 4 digit pin. You run the server software that generates the pin.
