That's a good solution, if you have your own dedicated server in the US, and if the US server can handle twice the amount of bandwidth that you need to surf with.

I set up a VPN connection with my Fedora server using the instructions here [google.com].

Or for a Windows XP server, try here [google.com].

Another alternative would be to use SSH port forwarding with a client that does SOCKS proxying.

This may fly under the radar better than a VPN. Since SSH is the ONLY method permitted for shell login by many web hosts, it's use is quite common, unremarkable, and unlikely to raise suspicion or be blocked. Better yet if the U.S. end of the connection is at a large web hosting company, and if you have a non-controversial website hosted there.

This also would not require that you install any additional software at your host. As long as they have SSH login, and haven't disabled SHH port forwarding, there is nothing you need to install on the host.
