You'll need some VPN that can connect to the other end. I use OpenVPN,
which can be used with Linux or Windows. However, no matter what method
you use, you'll have to get it through the firewall at the other end. Is
the BO your own business? A large company? Can you get the admin to allow
VPN access?
