If you want to SSH, you have to set up an intermediate machine that hosts the SSH service on either port 80 or 443. An easy (and free) way to do this is via a Google free-tier micro instance.

Optionally, set a static external IP address for your server in the VM config, in case you don't want to look up the IP each time.
