Why do you need a VPN? Can't you just use FoxyProxy, for instance, to tell your browser to pull BBC only (or even just the blocked URL's on BBC's web site) through the proxy, but everything else to be accessed directly? That's similar to what I did at work - I setup a protected proxy on our DMZ for other purposes but use it also to browse from our faster link. FoxyProxy allows me to avoid using the proxy when accessing internal web sites which the DMZ proxy isn't going to work with. So what's the advantage of a VPN over that?
