I need a proxy-like solution

So I personally would like to connect to my house's network as a proxy. Say I'm somewhere unsecure like an airport or coffee shop. Rather than use their unsecure wifi, I'd like to send my traffic through my house's network (the network I'd feel secure on). I'm not talking web traffic, I'm talking ALL traffic.

I've been Googling and searching endlessly through results, but can't find a free (or reasonably priced) solution. I'm a fan of hosting things myself. The only thing I did find was FreeProxy but it doesn't secure traffic.

If it helps, downstream is 50 Mb/s upstream is 5 Mb/s and router is RT-N66R.

Update: I've found this http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-als/files/adito/ however I'm not quite there yet. It secures my data, but the web forwarding is a bit rough. I set up a replacement proxy say to google (so that I can go anywhere from there). Say I go to facebook, I am unable to login because cookies are disabled (they're not). Just gotta set it up just like a web proxy you'd find just by Googling for it (because I'm unable to find a solution for all data; most of my data is web based).

Solution: I used Internet Explorer instead of Chrome. With IE, it appeared like a normal window (address bar, tools, fully functional). I was able to accept all cookies as a last resort and logins work normally (ones that require cookies). I'll have to mess around with Chrome to see if something else can be done. Otherwise, Adito can be used as a secure free proxy.

http://hak5.org/episodes/episode-607 These guys do a decent job explaining it. They don't provide a download link for the installer.

Go here for the installer: http://lars.werner.no/?p=174 If you receive an error (like resource not found) when logging in for the first time after installing, try changing your address to https://127.0.0.1/showLogon.do (or whatever your address is). It sometimes tries to default to showHome.do, which is impossible because you have to log in before getting to your home page. This threw me off because I followed the tutorial as shown.
