1 Openvpn tunnel - treat the endpoints as a network connecting the two of
2 you. If one end is public, connect direct (easier), or use your server
3 as a server and the ends as clients and route between at the server end
4 - can be fun (not) to get to work :)

6 Zebedee is a port based tunnel when only a single (or a few) ports needs
7 tunneling between two end points - designed originally for vnc type
8 connections and works great over low bandwidth and poor quality
9 connections.
10
11 ssh tunnel - similar to zebedee but Ive found it flakey and unreliable
12 with anything other than a good connection between two end points, far
13 prefer zebedee for this, but ssh is on almost everything by default
14 these days.

16 Start googling!
