Accessing blocked sites means finding a VPN endpoint that doesn't block them. I would use your VPN router to accept incoming VPN connections so you can access SourceForge et al from the Y you're staying at.
Frankly, Comcast shouldn't be blocking anything. And if they are, it's probably a "child protection" filter that can be disabled if you want. - Alex -- Smart is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
