Haven't used sidestep, but sshuttle [1] is a nice command line utility that does the same, just not automatically.

Much easier than setting up a VPN server.

One of the advantages of using SSH is that it almost always works, even in environments (think China) that actively block detected VPN connections. SSH running on port 443 looks a lot like HTTPS.
