You can tunnel things through an SSH. See the -X option (to tunnel an
X connection) and all the -L and -R options to proxy a socket.

As a simple-to-set-up VPN, SSH is unbeatable. It has its downsides, mind
you; the SSH protocol isn't optimised for such things. But if you're using
SSH day-to-day, then starting with it and re-thinking once you reach some
bandwidth/latency limit is a very sensible path.

For the occasional customer with some (stupid Java) app which can't live
without a GUI (go figure!), I do regularly tunnel X11 VNC over SSH. Works
like a charm.
