Teamviewer.com has a free client that works with a id-code and a passcode that changes every time you launch the app, works like a charm. (and is cross platform as well)

And even has a free Android app! (Possibly iOS as well, I dunno.) – Shinrai May 4 '11 at 14:23
Yep, iOS app as well, for both iPhone and iPad. – Jannemans May 4 '11 at 16:56

I user LogmeinFree Personally. Installs on both Macs and Windows. http://www.logmein.com, only needs a Java Enabled browser to access (also comes with Android and iPhone remote client apps also...but you might need to pay for them).

If you like VNC, keep using it. Tunnel it over SSH - clients and servers are built into most operating system, with the exception of Windows where both clients (PuTTY) and servers are available. Simply set up a tunnel from a certain port on your computer to port 5900 on the server (with e.g. ssh -L 1234:localhost:5900 server.domain.com), then tell your VNC client to connect to localhost, port 1234.
