This title was pretty confusing. I assumed it meant running a VPN connection over SSH (for instance, by tunnelling).
This was a common technique in my halls of residence as an undergraduate -- tunnel OpenVPN over SSH, plug in an secondary Ethernet card to your computer, then bridge the virtual adapter and the new Ethernet adapter. You could then plug in your Xbox/PlayStation into the ethernet adapter and bypass the rather strict filtering that was in place.
