Also, if the problem really is "I need to log in from a remote machine on
an unknown ip and strict rules on not letting others in" then you have more
or less described a roadwarrior ipsec setup, so get some kind of VPN going
there with certs and secrets and you can travel around the world and know
that only your machine with the correct magic can connect to the stationary
resource(s).
That problem was solved a long time ago.
