Telling you how would require a lot more space than we have here. I use FreeSWan, which is included in SuSE 8+ and easily installed via RPM in RedHat 8 (maybe included in 9).
It's an IPSEC vpn product which involves generating keys, exchanging public keys, and setting up the configuration files. It's not difficult, and I don't think there's any danger of breaking anything if a mistake is made.
The home site is at There is good documentation there, complete with examples for different scenarios, which will "tell you how" in detail.
I also know of an SSL-based vpn called CIPE, and you can use PPTP. I don't have much experience with these, though.
