[Vtun-Users] which tunneling method to use when I want to avoid RST packets?

I need to set up a tunnel, and would like to ask for advice how to
configure vtun for my situation which is as follows:

I have a DSL connection at home, and a Xen server on the Internet.
With my DSL connection I have two problems:

1. My ISP does some strange things with traffic which is not HTTP/SMTP
etc, probably to kill P2P filesharing overloading their netowork.
2. Even with HTTP connections, it sometimes issues randomly fake RST
packets killing TCP connections, especially annoying with SSH.

I want to make a tunnel to my Xen server which will make a "normal" IP
connection out of this, where "inside" I could have any TCP/UDP
connection on any port, meaning:

1. everything is tunneled through TCP port 80
2. if a RST packet is seen that should be ignored, and not break my
tunnel - so if I sit on ssh, my session doesn't break.

Is vtun the right tool to do this, if so - please recommend which of
the setups on http://vtun.sourceforge.net/setup.html to choose, if
not, which tool to use?

Thanks,
