Have you tryied with ssh? It will be much secure (only 1 port open), and you'll be able to run spark-shell over the networ. I'm using that way in my project (https://github.com/data-tsunami/smoke) with good results.
I can't make a try now, but something like this should work: ssh -tt ec2-user@YOUR-EC2-IP /path/to/spark-shell SPARK-SHELL-OPTIONS With this approach you are way more secure (without installing a VPN), you don't need spark/hadoop installed on your PC. You won't have acces to local files, but you haven't mentioned that as a requirement :-) Hope this help you.
