We've been using OpenVPN for years with excellent results.  It works very
nicely with clients behind firewalls at hotels and such.

When I'm out of my office, I open an OpenVPN tunnel from my Macbook Pro to
our network, make an ssh connection through the VPN to my normal desktop in
an xterm, then connect to my client's systems using ssh from there.
