port redirection

you could just ask your firewall guys to port redirect port 975 on the public side to 1352 on the server side.

Not a great idea because that allows the outside world to "see" your Domino installation, but it would work without the need for a VPN.

As stated before you can also do exactly this by creating an SSH server somewhere in the local network, have port 443 on some publically accessible IP point to the SSH server, set to use certificate authentication, and then use putty on your remote users machine to connect and authenticate. Then you would set up putty to forward port 1352 on the users machine 127.0.0.1 to port 1352 on the Domino server, and create a remote profile on his machine that connects to localhost.
Dont forget to ensure that the ssh server doesnt allow too many ports to be forwarded inside your network, by configuring it correctly or using a firewall that only allows 1352 to the Domino servers IP.

Boring, buying a cheap VPN box or using OpenVPN would be easier.
