Hi,
You can also try Hamachi [1], it's a UDP-based VPN solution and has NAT-to-NAT capabilities. Available in Windoze, Linux, and OS X.
The software is free for downloading but not open-sourced. Due to it's popularity, it was recently acquired by LogMeIn, Inc. So I'm not sure if it'll remain a freeware.

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.
