You are very unlikely to have success with a Consumer edition of a DirecWay product due to the lack of a unique public IP. You can, however, run a VPN client, or even a server on the Business Edition with a static, unique public IP.

Remember though, even if you are able to establish a VPN connection, it will be very slow. Since VPN packets are encrypted, the various tricks that are played to accelerate TCP connections on these high latecny systems cannot be used. Many people have found that their VPN connection is faster on a dial-up connection than on a satellite connection.
