Or tunnel VNC through OpenVPN.  I just implemented OpenVPN on a couple
of my clients' Windows servers--let me know if you need help with
that.

For those clients, I've been tunneling Windows RDP (instead of VNC)
through OpenVPN; one to the Windows 2008 server itself, and the other
to a Windows 7 desktop within their office network (using: netsh
interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=...).

RDP is really quite good, and I prefer it over VNC whenever I can use it.
