[KLUG Members] VNC through SSH tunnel or VPN

[bill]

A situation occured where I had two options, either would work and I'm
wondering which is better.

I'm at a remote location and want to use VNC (remotely work on a
computer) on a box inside a LAN.  

At my remote location, I can either use VPN and then VNC to the box as
if I was on the LAN, or I could set up a SSH tunnel and then VNC
localhost:xxx (where xxx is the port number set in the tunnel).

Which is better?

Which is more secure?

Would either be faster?

Recommendations, preferences?

kind regards,

bill
