Hello everyone,

 

     I have a quick question to ask as I am a student and new to the whole world of virtualization. I have scoured the net in search of an answer to my question before I decided to come to this site and I think I can't find the answer because I maybe asking the question in the wrong way. Here is the task that I am trying to accomplish:

 

     I have a WRT54G3G-ST Linksys Router in my home and I have host machine set up with a static address. I want to be able to access my VM's from a remote locations when I am out and about(StarBucks). When I am setting up port forwarding in my router, what ports do I need to have open. As or right now I am playing around with the DMZ option in my router, but from what I am reading that will expose my Host machine completely to the Internet and that is what I want, but is it the safest way to go about it or would just opening specific ports be best?

     By the way, I will be connection to the Host via Vsphere Client only.

 

 

Thanks for any suggestions that can be provided.
