VPN to the Philippines

We're opening a branch office in the Philippines. In the past with remote VPN users we've had problems making IPSEC work across the pacific. It seems like port 500 is being blocked by some countries (Such as Japan). In other cases, the tunnel would negotiate but then no traffic would go across. Anyone know what the story is with IPSEC in the Philippines?

Second, assuming we can't get IPSEC running across the ocean, can anyone recommend have any low cost gateway type VPN systems that work on other less blockable standards such as SSL? I can google it too so points go to those with actual experience.

Thanks.

We're using Sonicwalls. We've had pretty good luck domestically (in the States) but when we tried to set one up in Japan, no dice. Also I set the same remote user up with a VPN Tracker IPSEC client. Worked fine in the states but no Joy anyywhere is asia (except maybe singapore). He was using multiple ISPs all over the continent. In the sonicwall logs, the client would sometimes negotiate but then not transmit traffic. Other times (on other ISPs), the request would time out. I'm pretty sure that it's not config as the settings in the US worked fine.
