The VNC protocol is really insecure - as best I can remember, it sends
passwords in clear text.  It should only be used when connecting via
an encrypted connection.

Basically, there are no shortcuts to getting remote access to MythTV -
if you want proper security, you have to use either a VPN or an
encrypted tunnel.  Nothing else is good enough to ensure safety.  I
use OpenVPN and then VNC inside that.  OpenVPN is a pain to set up,
but gives about the best security available when used with the correct
options.
