Choosing VPN package


Hello,

I am trying to setup a VPN between two hosts. Host (server) has a dynamic IP and DynDNS service.

Host 2 (remote client) is behind a NAT firewall which I CANNOT open ports on, and is therefore not accessible externally. Is there any way to setup an VPN in this situation?

Can someone recommend a package that has a good, detailed, beginner-oriented tutorial/howto for this situation, and please provide me with the link?

Thanks,
Jason

I think Hamachi or OpenVPN will work just fine.
I would recommend Hamachi... google it.
