Can you give me some high-level instructions on setting this up. Also,<br>
a recommended client for Android. I will put together a wiki page on it<br>
and put it with the other wiki I wrote on the ssh tunnel.<br>

The complexity depends on your router.<br>
<br>
Basically you<br>
a) flick the "act as pptp/vpn server" switch in your broadband router<br>
b) pick a vpn username/password<br>
c) pick any dyndns provider and setup an account<br>
d) enable the dyndns client part in your broadband router<br>
<br>
e) Then just enter the dyndns hostname, username and password in your<br>
mobile device (and you better be using ICS, due to<br>

You mentioned that UPNP works, I assume ZeroConf can also be recognized<br>
over the VPN? I am using ZeroConf in Mythtv-for-Android for discovery.<br>

If your broadband router properly pushes the multicast packets around<br>
(acting as a bridge instead of a router to connect VPN and LAN)<br>
everything should "just work".<br>
<br>
Of course you can move the dyndns client and pptp server to your master<br>
backend and enable only some port forwarding in your router.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
