Hi

Exposing vCenter to public address/internet is not a secure option, instead you should configure some VPN your system.

Here are some threads which have similar discussions:

+1 here. Do not try and access vSphere over the Internet.

you don't need and you must not, you need to learn how to setup a trivial VPN
nobody exposes vCenter or ESXi to the internet

As it was said above, don't expose vCenter to the internet

Maybe this VPn tutorial can help you

Another option would be pivoting to a pc with Chrome Remote Desktop (A colleague of mine used to manage it's homeserver this way)
