The VPN does not need to be wide open. You can have the VPN operate only on port X and only connect to server Y.

True, with an open port you are more exposed to random hackers, but I've had far far more problems with my remote users downloading viruses, trojans, and other "bad things" then I have with random attacks breaking in.
