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?

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.
