For proxy services, I use HideIPVPN (feel free to strip the affiliate suffix if you object). I gave up with free VPNs – they are just too flaky and prone to too much contention. Good support in modern OSs.
For remote links to your home LAN, dd-wrt would be my choice. I don't know of any consumer routers that include VPN capability with OEM firmware. There are plenty of cheap routers to give dd-wrt a try.
Two separate services, of course, so you can dabble a bit at a time.
I have never tried VPN for this, but I don't have any clients that would justify the set-up on the far end. I use either VNC or a commercial service (TeamViewer or ScreenConnect).
