  Been there.  The real problem here is that you would probably attract a
fair amount of attention from running a ton of traffic through the same VPN
(thinking about Netflix or gaming here).  At a minimum, you'd want to have
a separate VPN for your own personal use, which might negate TomatoVPN.
 And I'm just assuming that the worst-case scenario in your location is a
blocked VPN.  Obviously, in many locations, repercussions are far worse
than that.  Proceed at your own risk.
