Are there routers that make it possible to connect from a remote
location (e.g. open Wi-Fi somewhere) via VPN without my home PC
being ON? TIA

Yes there are. I have used Cyberguard (formerly Snapgear) routers
that have this ability, I'm sure there are others. I know that 3rd
party firmware is available for some Linksys routers that gives them
this ability.

something big and sinister going on in the world.
Slartibartfast: No, that's perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the
universe gets that.
