port-forwarding

I need to connect to my home esxi box over the web however I cannot use the default port 902 for the console viewer due to firewall restrictions.

Is there a way to change this port somewhere even if i can just do some nat and redirect any other port to that port?

I've had a look around and when I try to connect to the esxi server in vSphere client I cant find anywhere I can specify the port.

I know this is not the recommended way to do this but its a testing server and security is not an absolute must on this box. I also cannot setup a vpn to this box.
