Depends. If both ends are GNU/Linux based, the simplest way would be to use OpenVPN [1]. Unlike IPsec (OpenS/WAN [2]), it is very easy to configure, doesn't require kernel patching, and most importantly for our applications (routers configurable only by those who know as much Japanese as we know about networking and itinerant road warriors), it plays nice with network address translation. However, IPsec is still the industry standard, so if you don't do NAT (lucky you), or if one end has networking hardware that implements it (e.g. a Netscreen or a Cisco PIX firewall), that might be the best way to go.
