Ditto others who have said -- OpenVPN.
I don't have any experience running OpenVPN on windows computers, but
the server configuration on a BSD box was not terribly complicated,
and the client software for Mac at least is quite good.
I think some versions of dd-wrt or some other similar home router
firmware has OpenVPN built in? That would be worth looking into, imho.

Everything in between your laptop and your home PC is encrypted so
nobody can snoop. Do I have it right?
Is there good VPN freeware available? If not what is good VPN
software? Thanks.
