VPN Solution - Hamachi , OpenVPN

Hamachi is a great program that enables you to easily set up an encrypted private network between remote computers over the open internet. It's a simple elegant solution without much fuss. It does have some limitations, but it's definitely an easy and secure way to access your shared folders, enable remote network gaming, and control your machines via Remote Desktop or VNC type programs.

Nice tutorial, how to setup Hamachi is available here.

OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN which implements OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension using the industry standard SSL/TLS protocol, supports flexible client authentication methods based on certificates, smart cards, and/or username/password credentials, and allows user or group-specific access control policies using firewall rules applied to the VPN virtual interface. OpenVPN is not a web application proxy and does not operate through a web browser.
