Once again, use putty. Then just connect to your system via putty/ssh, and forward a local port to port 80 (or whatever vnc is listening on) on your remote system. (in unix this would be "ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 remotesystem") Then fire up your browser and connect to localhost:8080 (or whatever the port you used.) Your connection will then be encrypted over your ssh connection. And you only need to have port 22 open on your system. Makes things very secure.
