It depends on where you are and what kind of address you want to have.
Here in the Netherlands I have just setup an OpenVPN server that can be used for this
for addresses within 44.137.0.0/16. Anyone with such an address can just mail me and
I'll
send them a certificate and example config file.
I plan to enable PPTP, L2TP/IPsec and IPsec as well as demand arises.
There is an OpenVPN service in Finland as well, see
http://wiki.ampr.org/index.php/AMPRNet_VPN
I think they are open for registration from anywhere (not just Finland).
Of course best is when you start a server in your own area.

yes I get that the tunnel type is mostly irrelevant and I'm pretty
agnostic as to it's type as hey I could tunnel over dns, http, or even
icmp if I had to. The question is tunnel to where? If I had a box
somewhere with a static endpoint / static ip address a big part of
this question would not be being asked and yes, I'd use it as a vpn
server - problem solved. at present, I do not have that luxury.
is there no possible way to connect hosts to amprnet that are behind a
nat firewall router that has a dynamic public ip without the use of a
(my own) vpn server with a static ip placed elsewhere?
