Generally speaking, yes. However, you may want to consider either purchasing
the "personal" or Enterprise version (which IIRC, include built-in
encryption) or consider tunneling the connection through SSH, Kaboodle, etc.
Anyone can "guess" the password and thereby hack your system. OR, if not using
a version with encryption, someone could, theoretically, sniff your VNC
session.
