    OpenVPN is functional, relatively painless to set up and works through
    most firewalls. It is not as proven from a security perspective as some
    of the other technologies and has some weaknesses such as it's
    requirement for a seperate port for each connecting client.

    apt-get install openvpn should do it should you go that route.
