==Setup the tunnel options==
The default VNC port on Mac is 5900. The source port is a free and open port on your local machine. (You may need to open that port on your firewall or setup port forwarding on your router). The 'local' radio button should be selected. Click add, go back to sessions and save the session for next time:

==Launch vncviewer==
Select locahost:50005 (or whatever local port you use):

You will need the VNC server password, naturally. You'll need to ask someone who knows what it is!
