The way ours is set up is that the virtual machines are run by a Linux
server at Redbus.  I use a "Virtual Server Console" on a Windows box
(although it *can* be run on a Linux box)  to connect.  We use a secure
encrypted connection using port forwarding. To connect I set up an ssh
tunnel using an ssh forwarded port under puTTY.  The console then
connects using localhost:<port>

Don't ask me too much about how, as I did not set it up (8-)#
