Set up an automatic tunnel (simple service that just runs autossh or
similar) or use a VPN (openvpn, tinc) and do the upgrade yourself.
That's not an option. The network on which the machine is is willingly
inaccessible from outside: The sysadmin there has the principle that "a
machine that works shouldn't be upgraded, because then it can
break"...
That's pretty idiotic attitude. Even working machine needs security
patches etc.
