        Configure OpenVPN and then connect via that.  Do NOT expose your WebGUI on WAN.

          Sorry to say, but the fact that you have to ask means you shouldn't, not to mention it goes against best practice. I'd do what KOM suggests.

            I connect with VPN all the time, it's great..  listen to these guys though, don't expose WebGUI.  it is a little tricky to get it working but worth it.
