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

Zebedee is a port based tunnel when only a single (or a few) ports needs
tunneling between two end points - designed originally for vnc type
connections and works great over low bandwidth and poor quality
connections.

ssh tunnel - similar to zebedee but Ive found it flakey and unreliable
with anything other than a good connection between two end points, far
prefer zebedee for this, but ssh is on almost everything by default
these days.

Start googling!
