Re: Setting up a VPN
One office is in a Hotel and gets its internet from the hotel. I'm not sure how. The other office is in office complex and it gets its internet from the property. I'm not sure if these are direct feeds or go through routers then to the site. Looking into the installation manual of a router that supports router-to-router VPN I don't think it matters. Nowhere does it refer to port forwarding. I think these tunnel directly without the need of port forwarding. We will see soon.

Re: Setting up a VPN
I'm not sure how IP Passthrough works... but if all you need is the WAN IP Address (like it seems...) then just watch the WAN IP with a program and have it e-mail to XXX@XXX.XXX whenever it changes... and they can set it up on the fly.
1 - Saves having to get a static IP.
2 - Dynamic IP's are a bit safer in the fact that "no one knows where you are".

Re: Setting up a VPN
I don't know if this will help you... but you can use PuTTY to tunnel into the network, and then setup quickbooks to use the localhost to access their files...
I suppose you could use Port 22 (SFTP) and that would be safe... but I'm not certain how SFTP works.

Re: Setting up a VPN
What I am confused about is the fact that you keep claiming he is being hosting through a 3rd party LAN. If the destination LAN is NAT though some ISP/Network he has no control over than reverse the situation. Run the destination to the single user LAN. And if both LANs are outside user-end control wtf would you be setting up a VPN for?

I do not see where the problem with NAT is. Unless he has no direct access to the public-to-private resolution on at least one end of the equation. You can change the service ports for anything.
Edit: Now if the case is-- some office he cannot control.. and some hotel he cannot control (sounds like a sketchy work around to me) -- than your very last option is a proxy tunnel. Every inter-network allows outbound traffic somewhere. And there are plenty of free solutions to do this. Hard cirumstances surely. But to me this is completely bypassing the ACLs set in the place for protection.
If this is the case it sounds like someone needs to talk to management/IT
