Hello Jacques,

I did test the connection thru SSH and it worked successfully with the option set to "lo". Here is what I did:
1. Configure vino to only use localhost interface, as detailed in #15.
2. Connect from a host with public IP address (a.b.e.f) to vino server on remote host (a.b.c.d). Connection was tunneled using SSH.

Here is the output from netstat on the vino server:
