As said, I'd channel the VNC port through an SSH channel, that should be more secure.

Subject: RE: running xwinnmr remotely from Linux and VNC
With the mention of VNC, I am wondering if anyone else's systems
have been compromised due to the lower security of VNC?
All of our instrument PCs (GC, GCMS, IR, AA, UV-Vis) were
attacked thru the free/low security version of VNC.
I have not researched other versions that are more secure.
Any recommendations?
