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?

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.
