[Openswan Users] Newbie question: Using openswan as a proxy server

Hello,
I've been going through HOWTOs and documentation and I'm trying to figure
out
if Openswan is the the right tool for the job, and how to set this up.

My setup is:
Home machine (Windows XP) 192.168.0.2
Home router LAN (Linksys WRTP54G) 192.168.0.1
Home router WAN xx.xx.xx.xx
Remote machine (Fedora FC6) yy.yy.yy.yy

My goal is:
To set things up so that, when accessing certain sites from home,
all traffic will be routed through the remote machine. The reason
is that I live in Europe, and I want to access certain TV and radio
sites that will only serve content to US hosts.

Some of these sites are now sofisticated enought that a simple HTTP
proxy will not trick them.

Is Openswan the right tool? Are there any resources that describe
setting up a system like this?

Many thanks,

Simon
