I'm doing this with RB750s, PPTP and EoIP. Works well.

If you're not going to dial in to the other router with PPP first, make sure you account for MTU issues with mangle rules. I've gone a failover scenario on my network that uses straight EoIP and I had to drop the MTU on the traffic over that interface to like 1400 in order to get certain websites to load and stop general wonkyness.

Ok good, so that plan will work. I can just put one in as a bridge on the
LAN side and have it connect to the WAN side of the other site and tunnel
the LAN through. Good. Now I just need to mock it up and pound out the
config.

Thanks Josh.

PPTP is a type of VPN.  If you have to do layer 2 and both sides will be
MT, EOIP is best.  If you can do layer 3, I would suggest PPTP.  One has to
have a public address on it (or at least an address that the client router
can get to).

I have a client that has a remote office. We have service to their main
office and they would like service to their main office. What they want
though, is for the remote office to be connected to the main office's
network and get it's internet from there. I know I can set up a pair of
RB450s so that there is a tunnel between them but I don't know
specifically
how I will do that.

Should I just put the RB behind their router at the main office, on their
local LAN, and have it "dial" out to a public address on an RB setup as a
WAN router at the remote site? Do the endpoints of the tunnel have to be
able to see each other? What type of tunnel would be best? PPTP? VPN?
EOIP?
If you can't tell I am new to this concept of tunnels. I appreciate any
help.
