Yes, the most complete way is use vpn (eg. 
http://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/openvpn?highlight=(vpn)). This way your 
local machine effectively becomes part of the lan on the other side of 
the web, allowing all network services to be accessed. It is also 
possible to connect two lans this way (google is,a s always, your friend)
If you only need to browse remote websites, it might be easier to just 
tunnel your web traffic over ssh. Do a `ssh -D8888 remotehost', and tell 
your browser to use localhost port 8888 as a socks proxy.
