How to securely control another Mac over the internet
Yes, sorry - when I sent in my original hint, ARD 2.1 was the latest release. I have however tried this with ARD 2.2 and got it to work.

In 10.4 (Tiger), when I start the ARD service, it automatically opens several corresponding ports on the builtin firewall, and it doesn't appear that there's any way to get around that without manually changing the firewall rules.
OSXVnc has an option to force SSH by only accepting connections from localhost. This violates your builtin requirement, but better fills the secure requirement by only letting one port open on the builtin firewall. Or maybe I'm missing something in the ARD preferences...

If the "Dad" computer is behind a physical firewall (router) it doesn't really matter if the VNC software is opening up ports in the software since they won't propagate to the router. |
