If there are not too many people (or more specifically
computers/laptops) that need to log in remotely then a easier and
better solution would be to filter by MAC address.
For example, in iptables, the rule:
-A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:00:00:00:00:00 -j ACCEPT
will allow access from the listed MAC address. You can add additional
checks to the rule like destination port, etc.
