We found an answer based on a good sized chat discussion.

His solution will probably require 1 of 2 things.

0. Host a WCF service that performs CRUD operations on his database.
1. Use a service like No IP to create a public location to his local machine, open ports for his database, and run the application with a direct connection. (he is aware of the limitations/security problems this creates)
