So I'm a dummy with Esx
I'm wanting to move my home lab to a hosted dedicated server running esx. I've dabbled in it a little bit at home but nothing that is Internet facing. How would I go about securing it while maintaining remote administration access. My google fu sucks at coming up with a result

Do you use the web client or the vSphere desktop client for management?
Desktop client. Didn't know there was a Web version. I'm a dummy twice.
Use a self-hosted VPN that gives you a static IP and secured connection, then establish in the ESXi firewall allowance for that specific IP both for the web/desktop client and the shell.
Close all ports you don't need on the host and open just those that you need on your clients.
