I do this via a Digital Ocean droplet where I run Parity as the client and ssh tunnel into the UI. It's actually quite simple and the instructions can be found here-- https://github.com/paritytech/parity/wiki/Wallet-Remote-Access

Don't forget to generate a new token on the Parity command line each time you need to access the UI from your local browser, this gave me quite a headache when I was forgetting to do this.

You can either use SSH tunnel (relative straightforward) or set up a Nginx web server with password protection.
