First test with OpenVPN is successful. Simple static key, router style link between two linux boxes. One box here, and one box at my virtual server host.

Nice.

[UPDATE: I can get it to route requests by my virtual server to computers on my home network correctly - I can ping the computer on my LAN from the virtual server. However, can't see the windows shares - I'm guessing that traversing a router requires a WINS server? Even if you're using IP addresses and not host names?]
