OK, partially answering my own questions here. You can open up the port for
the workers to communicate.  I guess it defeats the purpose of minimizing
the number of open ports, but it seems like that's the only way if you need
remote workers.

would be nice if it was aware of github teams.

I worked around this by using local environment variables to pass in any
sensitive information.
