Tor brings a bunch of other problems, it's also overkill because it 
tries to erase identity.

Really all that's needed is to enforce that the AP IP can only travel 
one step to a server owned by the traveller's identity, after that it's 
all his responsibility same as if he was using his connection at home.

VPN services scale fine, especially if home routers become the 
individual's VPN server so he re-uses his home connection remotely.

A lot of home routers already support dynamic DNS services, that's 
enough to resolve your home server from the internet, plus or minus the 
odd outage for a minute when your home IP changes.
