PyHoca-GUI is targetted at system administrators who use X2go for  
system administration. This is my primary use case...

What I do is:

   o place a linux machine in the customer network and make it accessible via
     X2go (open SSH port with reverse NAT to this machine only)
   o from their on...
       - Windows clients: use X2go sessions as RDP-proxy connections
       - Linux clients: PyHoca-GUI has SSH proxy support included, check
         the config dialog Window for this

PyHoca-GUI's great advantage compared to x2goclient is the handling of  
multiple sessions to the same session profile as well as to multiple  
session profiles.

No IPv6 ISP needed, use an IPv6 tunnel broker (e.g. SixXS):
