In my experience, IPsec (native on OpenBSD, USAGI on linux) with
'isapkmpd' key management has been a good solution. The free 'Secure
Sentinel SSH' Ipsec VPN client for Windows performs well, and over
slower connections is quite tolerable. No need to co-locate your
VPN endpoint at the ISP for small-scale applications. Costs only
your time to implement (on DSL and WiFi) and can save the O.P. a lot
of moolah in the long term.
