LogMeIn offers a Linux version of their VPN software. Look for Hamachi VPN from the same website. You can configure Hamachi to start automatically on the target computer and thus establish a secure VPN with your computer. Then, on the target computer go to System/Preferences/Remote desktop and enable the remote desktop feature. The Remote Desktop will be enabled obviously for the local network, however you can access through Hamachi. Hamachi is not open-source software.
