The issue here is that it's quite a legal minefield (Anyone thinking
someone setting up a "Public" backend and inviting everyone to join as
"Anonymous" frontends?)

Anyways, providing the backend is running fine, the best way to run a
system like this is to establish a VPN to the backend from your
current location, then connecting your frontend to the backend through
that tunnel.

Another possibility is to use IPv6 (If Myth supports it... Anyone?
Isaac?) to tunnel over the internet and connect to the backend that
way (Though that might involve a lot of 4-to-6 and 6-to-4 tunnelling).
