I used to do that; then I decided I wanted access to MythWeb, my Squid 
proxy, mail server, mfd (DAAP ports), etc...

It finally got to be a bit ridiculous remembering which ports I'd

pseudo-VPN.  Works like a charm, and only requires that you have PPP 
configured on both ends.  Pretty easy to set up using the PPP-SSH Mini
