Since you just need SSH access I would vote for using ssh tunnels in 
order to keep it simple.  I've done this in the past and they've been 
very reliable.  The only thing you need to take care of is having the 
remote computer re-establish them  in case of a reboot or network failure.

This is a good howto for setting them up, including taking care of 
auto-restarting them:

I also came across this, but haven't actually used it myself:
