I used Hamachi successfully to have my friend connect to my grid when I was in college dorms. I think I used this version, but if it starts bugging you to pay them, uninstall it and try an older version. Or subscribe. But I'd try all the free ones first. http://hamachi.en.softonic.com/ Most vpns will do the same thing.
When this happened to me, I had to go through ALL TEH FILES with a fine tooth comb (or Notepad++) to make sure I changed all the IPs to the correct vpn ip. That was annoying. This was my issue though - I had updated the main file's IP, but the regions themselves thought they were on a different server. Since then the workflow has removed specific IPs in the regionconfig file, but maybe there's something similar. ~~~ Go around! Go around! Go around the Windmill! Sing us a song, of storms.
