I agree with the writer who thought leaving a VNC m/c on-line was the whole reason for using VNC and can only suggest a stronger approach to user-id / password procedures to protect your network.
The thought of a firewall offering protection is amusing, so many people think that installing a firewall protects them. A port scan of the external interface will identify any VNC services active on the network and you are then in just the same situation as having the VNC server present without the firewall. You just have to face facts, if you give yourself access you are open to everyone who fancies themselves a hacker.
