Tunneling / Vpn

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?

I think this topic may have been brought up before but I don't recall
this specific service. Has anyone used itshidden.com as a secure VPN
solution? As always I'm wary about who is "securing" my traffic if
it's a third party. I'm essentially looking for a solution I can setup
and use within ddwrt so when I'm on the road for work I can connect to
a hotel network, tunnel traffic, and repeat to my room with my own
WPA2 ssid. Free and anonymous are my preferences but I'm not sure how
realistic that is.
