OpenVPN is a very good product, but I would also suggest you look at IKE built-in VPN technologies in the Cisco based RV series of routers. Using the VPN built in your site gateway router, allows for a much cleaner integrated implementation of site to site VPN’s. A key here is to reduce, if not eliminate the use of port forwarding on your router.
There are many offerings for VPN technologies. “Your requirements” will drive which one is the best for you.

For open VPN tutorial goto the HAK5 podcast. It has gotten a lot easier with newer releases.
Several recent episodes on setting up your own VPN connection.

Skyler. The answer in this case is to us a VPN to your home or other location that Internet with a Public IP address. You effectively run a tunnel to that IP and that is the on you control. You are creating a tunnel from that location to your wireless site. One of the most popular is OpenVPN but has a steep learning curve. A good alterternatin is Softether https://www.softether.org/ from Japan, it is open source, emulates openVPN and others and allows a vpn connection. It is available for Window, Mac and Linux so should be east to add.

We are getting internet from a microwave link wireless ISP on a mountiantop. According to Mountain Broadband, ports are not blocked, and they don't have a firewall.
However, when I plug my computer or router into the jack, I am automatically assigned a 10.1.50.x address. Why is this happening? I never requested an IP manually, it assigned me a DHCP IP.
Inbound ports are all blocked to my router behind the DHCP IP address when I try to login under the public IP.
However... the mountaintop site has a static Public IP that is unique to itself.
Can someone explain how this works, and what information I need exactly to get inbound port forwarding to work to my mikrotik router from whatever Mountain Broadband has behind it ?
