The TOR network is an option but I believe that is just obfuscating the connection not really securing it. What you really want is a VPN (Virtual private network). That is a secured (SSH) network tunnel through the internet to your home network. Once connected it is just like being connected locally.
There are various easy solutions for VPNs or free solutions like OpenVPN that take more work.
If you travel or even just regularly use open hotspots while out, a VPN can also help protect that web activity by routing it through your home network. The hotspot will only see encrypted noise.
