Your VM idea is good, but the ports still would need to be opened to the base machine which means access from the outside is to your base machine. The VM is only bridged or NAT'd to your existing open connection. In order to restart the VM image you still need external access to your base machine. I suppose something like go to my PC would solve that issue but not the one of open ports to your main machine.
