Tom,
I have looked at OpenVPN but for some reason i'm having issues with generating certificates using their howto and i used the rpm from Dag. While i continue my fight with this is there any other options out there?
I replied to your issue on the OpenVPN mailing list, it is the way you are setting your environment.
When running behind the NAT firewall, you will need a rule in the firewall to forward the inbound connection to the VPN. Once the connection is established, all traffic will pass thru the NAT/Firewall over this connection.
I am running the setup you are describing, using Windows and both Fedora and CentOS and it is rock solid.

He's right, i've deployed openvpn in many weird places and it works almost out of the box :)
I agree that the ssl key generation is a bit odd to do at first but once you get used to it it's just a simple task like anything else.
Here i wrote a small article about me liking openvpn and all, but does include a small procedure and explanation of terminology used for ssl config.
The page is in french so i translated it with google translate.
