Perhaps you simply want to use ssh remote port forwarding. In your scenario, the remote user could ssh to your machine like so: ssh -R5555:localhost:22 jasonsbox.domain.com This causes localhost:22 on the remote user's machine to be forwarded to yours. Once he connected, you could connect back to his machine by connecting to localhost on port 5555, like so: ssh -p 5555 localhost You could also run vncviewer in listener mode on your machine. However, I would personally have misgivings about exposing that to the public net without, at a minimum, some sort of firewall restrictions.
