I can think of several things I don't like about this, but given you
inherited it, and it's meeting their needs for the moment, I'd suggest two
additions. I'd add AuthAnvil (www.scorpionsoft.com) or another form of Two
Factor Authentication(TFA). I'd also restrict the port forwarding to only be
allowed from explicit IP addresses (those of the home machines they're
logging in from.) The IP address restrictions will need to be a range unless
they have a static IP address on their home machines.
