[gentoo-user] [OT] Router for ssh tunnel/SOCKS proxy

[Mick]

Hi All,

Apologies for the off-topic post but I thought to ask here because there have 
been a couple of threads in the past where embedded Linux OS' for hardware 
routers were discussed and that may offer a solution to my problem.

I would like to be able to tunnel through ssh to my home router (netgear 
DG834) from random public wifi access points, for the purpose of connecting 
through my own ISP to the internet for internet browsing and email.

I do not want to run a PC behind the router.  Instead, I am looking for an 
enhanced hardware router type of solution.  Would you perhaps know of either 
a COTS product, or a Linux embedded approach to fulfil this requirement?
