So you dont actually care about a secure connection to your home network, this is just about getting around proxies while on the road?

The reason I'm looking for something other than the usual ssh tunnel is that my home connection has not been reliable as of late. While I was on the road for the last 4 weeks I had about 5 days where I could get back and then lost connectivity to my place. I'd also prefer a VPN solution so I don't need to go in to every single application I have running and tell it to use a socks proxy (if said app even supports that option). I dug up the last chain regarding this type of stuff and didn't see any free solutions unfortunately. Does anyone know of anything that's free or am I stuck paying a small amount per month?

When I'm on travel the trusty ssh port on my home server is a quick
easy solution. Using putty in windows you can use it as a proxy. You
can sftp to your local machines or what ever you want. An Linux there
is ssh -D to set up as a proxy. Depending on what you want to
accomplish there are a verity of free tools out there. What resources
do you have avialable at home? Can you set up a virtual computer
running Linux? Do you have an extra box you can set up as a server?
