Tunneling my LAN though a secure connection to a (remote) dedicated server.

D

I have been reading the OpenVPN docs for 2 hours and still don't have any idea if it is even the software I need. I have a FreeBSD gateway setup for my LAN with PF for NAT. I also have a FreeBSD server I rent in a data center and I would like to transparently tunnel all my LAN's Internet needs though the data center server.

So my question is: is OpenVPN what I am looking for or is their something more fitting?
 
ssh tunnel

Also you can try OpenSSH tunnelng feature. It already bundled with OS. Then just set default route to remote side of ssh tunnel. On remote server you can also set a back route and run NAT.
Code: 
%man ssh
...
     -w local_tun[:remote_tun]
             Requests tunnel device forwarding with the specified tun(4)
             devices between the client (local_tun) and the server
             (remote_tun).

             The devices may be specified by numerical ID or the keyword
             ``any'', which uses the next available tunnel device.  If
             remote_tun is not specified, it defaults to ``any''.  See also
             the Tunnel and TunnelDevice directives in ssh_config(5).  If the
             Tunnel directive is unset, it is set to the default tunnel mode,
             which is ``point-to-point''.

OpenVPN may be convinient if you have reliable link and want to bridge several remote LAN segments across WAN/Internet.
