I've got a home network that uses a FreeBSD box with a static external address as its boundary. I want to setup an IPsec VPN so that I can connect my laptop as though it were an internal host, when I'm remote (in a starbucks, whatever). But, all of the IPsec setup info I've found seems to be about how to connect two networks with static external addresses. Can anyone point me at something that will show me how to setup something that will work when I don't know the laptop's IP ahead of time?
