Most definitely. Just for fun I logged in, installed nmap, and proceeded to scan my home connection to see if they blocked anything (scanned from 1-65535). If anything this is convenient for getting a public IP quick and they don't restrict any ports. But wait... You can also use SSH as a dynamic SOCKS proxy quick for an ad-hoc VPN. I bounced SSH over to port 443, because why not. Fired up SSH on my local machine with a local dynamic proxy (ssh -D 4444 -p443 ubuntu@212.47.231.xxx), set my proxy on Firefox to localhost:4444 and voila. Free VPN through them for 30 minutes. Not uber fast (server is in France) but usable.
