The gateway is the access point, not the laptop - and the gateway doesn't have too many options (it's a consumer DSL) - I just wonder if the gateway can handle this.
OpenVPN is one of many different implementation of Virtual Private Network (VPN). It is very popular among Linux users. You do not want that one. It is very poor implementation which violates many RFC. You want IPsec.
