If we were talking about PC to PC then I would suggest EchoServer which is fully encrypted end-to-end. I really don't know many solutions for Macs unfortunately.

This can be setup, but... Yes, the tech guys will have to make changes to get it to work. The only way around this is to have to your server connect to some internet place, where your client (from home) can also connect to. This place on the internet would then bounce all the information between the 2. Such services are offered (for a price). But your really have to trust the company 'cause they could (can) see everything your are doing, and can connect to you Uni-Pc any time they felt like it. It would be easier if the Uni Pc could be made to call-out instead of the home pc calling in...
