On my Linux PC I set my VNC viewer to go to "localhost:myport", but when you use a non-standard port (non-5900) for VNC it gets a bit tricky in that it adds what you specify in "myport" to the 5900, and that should add up to the non-standard port you are using. Thus, the firewall on the Windows PC and the port forwarding on my router are shown to be set properly. I used another PC (a Linux PC) to test VNC through an SSH tunnel over the internet with my non-standard ports, and the port forwarding in my router does work, and the tunnel does work - on that Linux PC. But when I try to use the ConnectBot SSH tunnel for my VNC Viewer to connect to the PC it says "connection refused". I installed android-vnc-viewer 0.5.0 on my Nexus 7 and successfully connected (without the ConnectBot SSH tunnel) over the internet through my router to my PC using the non-standard port. I also have UltraVNC server installed my Windows PC - using non-standard (non-5900) port and have set the Windows firewall to accept my non-standard port and configured my router to forward the non-standard port to the Windows PC. I installed ConnectBot on my Nexus 7 and successfully connected to my Windows PC over the internet through my router using the non-standard port. I also have my router configured to forward this non-standard port to that PC. I have my windows firewall configured to accept this non-standard port. I have openSSH Server installed on a Windows XP PC using a non-standard (non-22) port.
