maybe using a SOCKS proxy via SSH might be a possible solution for you.

Using a SOCKS proxy is rather similar to VPN'ing. However, SOCKS can  
tunnel a complete sublan through SSH (not VPN). However, the network  
client (X2goClient) must support directing network traffic through a  
SOCKS proxy channel. As X2goClient mainly uses SSH for network traffic  
this should basically be possible, but it would need implementation in  
the client code.

I will also put SOCKS client support on my wishlist for pyhoca-cli as  
it might become a very interesting feature.

Greets,
Mike
