Hi Kiko, Try this open source program-->http://www.openvpn.org This program allows you to connect Virtual Network using OpenVPN (Open Virtual Private Network). It is also runs on iptables/netfilter firewall.
You could also use FreeS/WAN -->http://www.freeswan.org Hope you could make it. If not please let me know and I'll help you how to configure your virtual network.
