The game play itself is not, per se, a security risk; it is instead front facement of your machine which creates the risk. Connect the machines together by VPN:

As you will encrypt all your data and it will become very slow. If both of you are on the internet you will both have a public ip address. This address will be that of your pc if you are using a modem or that of your router. In case it is a router, you will have to configure a feature called nat (translate a local ip to a public ip) Having said this, I am still skeptic about the speed of the connection On a local network you get up to 10 mbps at least. On internet we are talking about what speed? (1 or 2 mbps) You can give it a try. VPN is quite drastic. As you will encrypt all your data and it will become very slow.
