I use SSH myself, but quite a few of my students use ssltunnel and
absolutely love it:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ssltunnel/

Basically its a PPP tunnel secured with SSL or TLS. It can be configured
host to host, host to network, or network to network. Server runs on
Linux or BSD, but the client has other options as well (Solaris and
Windows come to mind). It runs over TCP/443 and performs a SSL
handshake, which means it works quite well when a proxy is in the way.

HTH,
Chris
