The way we deal with this is to install ZoneAlarm (www.za.com) and
Hamachi* (www.hamachi.cc). In Zone Alarm, put the Hamachi address
into the trusted zone (along with any local IPs) and the deny VNC
Internet access. VNC is still fully accessible over the local and
hamachi addresses but any incoming traffic directly from the Internet
is denied.
*Hamachi is a simple to use VPN.
