There are packages (forget what they are called) that offer an internet
based peering point, i.e. client subscribes to the peering point and it
relays traffic, this way I guess the traffic is outbound form the client to
be remoted and opens up a channel on the firewall.

Also the package I use allows you to connect via a host, so I guess you have
a machine on the client side that acts as a surrogate (i.e. you only need
one ports / NAT directive through your firewall), this then refers you onto
the actual client you are going to remotely control.
