Conserver remote access

I have been running conserver on my LAN for a few months now, and so
far it has been very successful.  However, I'd like to open up access
to the box running conserver for purposes of remote administration
over the Internet.  Obviously, I am worried about the potential
security implications of this, and so I am looking to do it in the
safest way possible.  What would you all reccomend?  I am thinking of
either opening up SSH to the box, or opening up the conserver port and
then using 'console' to connect remotely, since conserver does include
SSL support to secure the connection.
