In this case I will recommend CIPE.

It will use a simple (freely cooseable) UDP-port for a relatively high secure 
VPN-Tunnel solution (Blowfish encrytion).

There also exists a Win32 client, so you can build Linux <-> Windows VPNs and 
it works for sure with @Home except they also block UDP-connections ;-)
