Our admin would prefer to not open SSH at all outside our LAN, but
developers would need to have write access also outside the office.

What safer to connect to the LAN than with SSH? What _would_ your
system admin be happy with using?

telnet. I do not jest, this is our sysadmins' stated reasons for not
opening the git port and for tweaking their (mandatory) HTTP proxy to
block HTTP traffic from git.

(Telnet over some horrible impossibly slow buggy proprietary VPN.
It takes >5min to bring up a single connection.)

Do not underestimate the stupidity and hideboundedness of undertrained
system administrators, for it is vast.
