I assume your client is running FreeBSD, the suggestions below will work
with other OS but the solution details will be up to you.

If you have a dedicated server someplace on the internet you should be able
to setup a tunnel to that server and route all your traffic through that.

Some tunnel options:
ipsec based vpn
gre tunnel (man 4 gre)
ppp over udp
ipv6 tunnel (check out /usr/ports/net/freenet6)
pptp (either through netgraph or ports pptpd)
l2tp  (ports l2tpd)

Should be something to get you started,

Tony
