If you are using Gnome on the server, you use Remote Desktop and 
access it from the Internet via tightVNC going through an SSH 
encrypted tunnel. I use putty and puttygen SSH clients running on Windows.

Once the link is established and you can see the server desktop, 
launch a browser on the server desktop and access 127.0.0.1/mythweb 
to get to Mythweb.

I disable password signon on the server and use SSH with a 2048-bit 
key (generated by puttygen) so its a pretty secure link. (the config 
files on Fedora are /etc/ssh/sshd_config and ~./.ssh/authorized_keys)

For directions to set up the link look here:

If you need more help, I would be happy to walk you through it.
