VNC via public IP

I've followed the "Quick Installation Guide for CentOS" and have a single server 
installation. I have a single public IP, and all the cloudstack components are 
using NAT'd IPs. I'm able to access the VNC consoles from internally, but cannot 
via the public IP. My firewall is forwarding 8080 correctly, since I can access 
the management console via the public IP.

How do I access the VNC consoles via the public IP? My browser just responds 
with "The operation timed out". I'm using Cloudstack 4.4 on CentOS 6.5 with KVM.

Thanks for the reply. I'm starting to think it's not possible with the 
configuration from the guide since the public IP for the Console Proxy is 
actually an RFC 1918 address. When I get the operation timed out message and 
view the source on the page, I see that it is in fact trying to use the RFC 
1918 address. My workaround will probably be to set up a VPN to this network.

Hi, Merill.  Did you set up port forwarding rules on your firewall for
the VNC ports on the VM IPs?  You'll need such a rule for every VM.

Best regards,
Kirk
