I'll tell you in advance that I'm newbie in the topic.

I have a Win8 (Home) machine with Hyper-V installed behind a router. The router has a public IP and a domain attached.
I have another Win8 (Work) machine also installed Hyper-V. I want to access to my home Hyper-V via Hyper-V Manager so I can manage my virtual machines from work.
I found this article but I don't know if it's applicable to me. I thought that a simple port forwarding should work and I only need to do is grant the Work HV manager my domain and the port I choose and if it's pop a login form I only need to fill the user data of my Home computer?
How can I solve this?
My thoughts revolve around:
- Port forwarding -> set domain+port and set my home user
- Set up a VPN and use the local ip address of my home computer (it looks like a little cumbersome and my router only support PPTP)
I'm open to any other solution too.

Thanks,
Péter
