I do not think this is the work that tightvnc should do. You can simply change your router/firewall to forward the port you want to an inside computer. Isn't that possible? I have looked at gotomypc.com, but I do not understand how you want tightvnc to conform to that. As far as I understand this means that you need to log into gotomypc.com homepage to get access. This means that the gotomypc software connect to the gotomypc.com site and start a connection there. When you connect to their homepage they can request operations from the software using that connection. Such functionality could be implemented, BUT it will take very long time using the current code AND tightvnc is not secure enough for this. So the simple answer is no, it is not really feasible, especially as it need a number of extra components (like web site module and web site connector). Have I understood what you wanted?
