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.
