Hello
I am in the process of setup a similar configuration using poptop to create a 
pptp link between a static server and a roaming computer with an anonymous.   
There is also l2tpd from what I read it is more secure than pptp but it does 
not work through a NAT.  I will hopefully get this up and running soon sofar 
I have only been able to create an unencrypted pptp link.
  
Aaron
