Connecting machines behind NATs

One of my friend asked me on how to use VNC when both the client and the server are behind NAT routers. He knows that he can re-configure the router to do port-forwarding and such, but it is not good enough because not everyone is comfortable (or competent) enough to do it.

So I looked into the matter and found out that yes it is possible to do so without re-configuring anything. I've written a wiki article to document the process using commonly available tools, it is located here. While it talks specifically about VNC, the methods discussed is readily extendable to any other protocols.

I hope it is useful for others who have similar problems.
