Saying that it runs on a VMWare machine has not much to do with being secure... normally user-manager and user-password should be accessible from the WAN side if I remember correctly:

https://servername/user-manager/
https://servername/user-password/

If you want to access more panels you can try installing dungogs userpanel contribs, see www.dungog.net.

User manager is an add on contrib.
By default they are only accessible from the LAN and not from the WAN.

You can connect via VPN or connect using a Putty ssh tunnel or add a remote IP to the Remote Access panel to allow external access, which will also allow access to server manager.

It is not recommended to do the following, but you can add an IP of 0.0.0.0 and that will allow access from anywhere. Keep in mind you WILL be worried about security if you do this as you have allowed access to anyone from anywhere.
