You can achieve PPP over SSH, which is ye old man VPN known for long :

Although one may consider IP over TCP is a bad idea :

Another solution is PPP over SSL. I use it with stunnel, and it works
fine. Using a patched version, one can build tunnels though web proxies
with authentication. See :

        http://www.stunnel.org/examples/pppvpn.html

I like the bridged mode. Very convenient.

It is included in testing and unstable.
