I've said it before and I'll say it again: Provided he restricts incoming traffic on your router to his GF's IP address it is totally unnecessary to use VPN or SSH tunneling for this kind of thing. IP filters are impenetrable without attackers having cracked his (or her) ISP first and then it's not just you who's in trouble. Tunneling is alwyas a hassle and makes everything a lot less reliable. If your routers support router-to-router LAN tunneling it's worth considering, but else I'd forget it. Common sense is requirement #1 in security.
