I have done this with IPSEC. If the NAT is not static (i.e. you can't
initiate a session to the router behind the NAT) then you can only bring up
the tunnel from that router but it does work...

The only caveat is that some NAT devices don't NAT IPSEC correctly but I
haven't found any like that for a few years now. Plus, you can enable NAT-T
and that helps in most cases.
