You would at minimum need to open up some ports in his firewall and on a computer at his house. I'd worry about the security of those ports being open. A safer bet would be to setup a point to point encrypted VPN between your houses and then transfer the data over that...
Point to point (always on) is probably not necessary.
Use a router that supports Open VPN (Asus) at the dad's house. The off-site drive is basically a seeded backup, so backups moving forward are incremental and relatively small. Could set up a Mac with a static IP at his house and connect manually every week or so to squirt an update. Could probably work out a script to connect automatically for nightly backups.
