A vpn (virtual private network) is the way to do this. I suggest openvpn. =

As far as ddns in general, be aware of authentication and spoofing issues w=
ith all dynamic dns services I'm aware of. They all use cleartext username=
/password authentications; no one that I'm aware of uses certs or keypairs =
or even encrypts the communication. But don't let that stop you, just be a=
ware of it. I've used ddns for years now, with no problems other than the =
ones I make for myself.
