If so, would you really trust it any more than you trust your current gateway? If you have this level of paranoia, your best bet would probably be to spend some money and get a dedicated host in some sort of colocation facility. I don't know what the current pricing tiers are, but you probably don't need a lot of bandwidth. (You do realize that all the protocols you named will then go in cleartext over the public internet once they leave the endpoint of your tunnel, right?)
