I think it can be done even easier than that.

ZeroTier is one option - its kinda like a VPN. One thing I like about it, is that the ZT network can also have firewall rules - so you can limit folks to well known ports.

Access to the network needs to be approved by who ever is the network owner. (I ran it here in FSX for a bit, and its running in TQW).

I also like it, because script kiddies could be gone, if you only enable access to your system via ZT - and every body "in" the net is known...

(Still doesnt get over the problem of somebody dual homing out to the internet though.)
