To be honest, "actively refusing it" sounds a lot like something
blocked by a firewall, or a process that is explicitly not running.
Note that I have not tried to run it here.

Have you tried pointing telnet to the port that this should be using,
to see if you can actually reach it? It doesn't have to be your router
blocking it for things to be blocked somewhere along the way, assuming
the process is indeed running and responding to requests.

sudo netstat -anp | grep -i x11vnc

Should tell you what port to test, assuming "x11vnc" is the name of the process.
