Running SourceSafe on remote webserver

We're running SourceSafe on an internal server at my company but have
been asked to look into running the server component on a webserver
outside of our corporate network. We would use either Visual Studio or
the SourceSafe client application to check files in/out.

+ Does SourceSafe allow the hosting of the server component somewhere
other than the local network? (when I choose 'Add SS Database' the
verbiage implies that the ini file I'm looking for is on the local
network.)

+ Would the source code be available only to people whom we've set up
as users or does hosting it outside of our firewall basically publish
our source code?
