Not clear to me if you can or not, because it requires two things to happen:
1 - router set to open operation, supports WPA2
2 - NIC has a way to ask for WPA2

On the other hand, if you VPN to a remote machine, while the endpoint IP is 
visible, the data shouldn't be. If you use a secure port knocking scheme, that 
is visible as well, unfortunately. Using ssh and port tunneling should be 
secure, as well.
