Secure VNC using Zebedee

I've successfully got TightVNC configured at my office so that the
employees can access their computers from home. The office computers are
behind a router which has been configured for port-forwarding.  Presently
there are 5 ports being forwarded at the router (1 port for each of the 5
computers in the office being remote controlled).

   I'm looking to make VNC more secure. I want to setup Zebedee to implement
an SSH tunnel.  I know that this prevents someone from "snooping" the data
as it travels between the vnc client and server, but does it eliminate the
need for port-forwarding?  My understanding is that SSH will still require
the ports to be open at the router meaning that if someone tried to initiate
a connection (a worm for example or some other type of malicious code) to
the router on a port being forwarded they would end up gaining access to the
network so is there something else I can/should be doing to make VNC more
secure besides using SSH?

   Additionally, I want to confirm that I have the correct setup for getting
Zebedee to run in my environment:

1) Zebedee configured on each VNC server computer (in my case 5 computers).
This involves running Zebedee using the supplied VNCserver.zbd file and
enabling "AllowLoopback" in the registery.

2) The connection to the Zebedee/VNC server is done by running Zebedee using
the supplied VNCViewer.zbd file and supplying the parameters for the router
IP and port to connect to and the router (which is being forwarded to
internal IP address running VNC server and Zebedee server).

Is there any other configuration necessary?

Thanks.

Thanks for your assistance,

   Ryan
