I have a dyndns account, it keeps the dns updted. I can always get to my

let you configure this using some kind of frontend.
I need to mount the servers nfs export throught the router. I setup the
correct ports for nfs to foreward, is that it?
Hm, yes, that's how it is supposed to work. But as you mention...
If I can do that it would be very insecure, then I would disable that and
set-up openvpn on the server to the router...
... I wouldn't offer my NFS mounts to the wild, wild world out there.
Instead, your setup would look like this:
Router --port forwarding--> Box running OpenVPN
And with OpenVPN you could either
- bridge your office LAN to the OpenVPN virtual device (not recommended,
traffic explosion ahead ;-) ),
- route from the OpenVPN device to the office LAN
So you'll basically get away with just one port forwarding from the router
to the box running OpenVPN.
