How to use my home internet from other country so that I can browse country-restricted websites?
I need to browse websites when I travel to other country but web traffic policy restricts me to do so but not all websites. I have a wire-line internet connection in my house and its router's WAN IP address is private (10.x.x.x) and dynamically assigned by ISP. What should I do to access my home's internet from other country so that I can browse any website without restrictions? If the solution will require a PC in my home, how can I use wake/sleep on LAN to conserve electric bill? Public VPN is not preferred and should be routed to my home's network.

Shortest answer: VPN - not necessarily a public one. You can look at your home router's features and see if it has a VPN server. You VPN to this and you're on your home network. Done.

If you have a laptop with a modem, you can call a dial-up number in the United States. If you have a landline, you can set one up yourself and call into that from your computer, no matter where you are in the world. You don't even need an Internet connection from wherever you are. Not necessarily cheap or fast, but extremely easy and guaranteed to work no matter what. This is still very common in many Asian countries to get around Internet filtering. They can't filter audio coming through the phone lines so this gets around that.

Here below a not exhaustive list of possibilities with no particular order:
Set up a proxy for your browser. Take one available for free or for payment and the traffic you will generate with your browser will seems to come from the Proxy server country. Good: it will affect only that browser. Minus: if the proxy server is overloaded it will be really slow to browse. Moreover Security Issue: all your data will pass through that server: better if there will be not sensible data. Solution: you can install a proxy server on your home computer and communicate the new dynamic IP with something like noip.
Install a proxy plug-in for your browser e.g. foxyproxy...
Set up a VPN: it is the extension of the private network concept to a public network. You dislike but I suppose this is the best way for your needs.
Have access to a remote computer in another country and use the browser from that computer: give a look to remote desktop server/client applications as e.g.nomachine or for Microsoft remote desktop connection. (Note: All the files you will download will be downloaded on the remote machine). You can do it with your home computer.
Tor The Hidden Service Protocol, maybe too much for your purpose.
Yes, VPN is the option I am thinking of also, but I am not sure if it will work if router's WAN IP address is private and dynamic since my ISP is implementing Carrier Grade NAT (CGN). Additionally, I have an Asus RT-N16 flashed with DD-WRT. For the option of remoting computer access like nomachine, MS remote desktop, LogmeIn & Teamviewer, I see a problem there because the PC in my house (installed with that application mentioned) should be on for a long time even I do not need it.

The way I see is to have a router inside your house able to communicate somehow the dynamic IP (something like noip) each time your provider change it (if you have an ADSL on telephone cable should be enough your neighbouring washing machine to decrease the Noise/Signal ratio force new ISP/IP connection). Moreover the router should be programmable to forward, maybe only a specific port (better an uncommon one), to your home computer that have to be able to Wake-on-LAN (WoL). BTW, you can have a VPN almost in each country with no need to have it in your own home, but often you have to pay.

Shortest answer: VPN - not necessarily a public one. You can look at your home router's features and see if it has a VPN server. You VPN to this and you're on your home network. Done.

If you have a laptop with a modem, you can call a dial-up number in the United States. If you have a landline, you can set one up yourself and call into that from your computer, no matter where you are in the world. You don't even need an Internet connection from wherever you are. Not necessarily cheap or fast, but extremely easy and guaranteed to work no matter what. This is still very common in many Asian countries to get around Internet filtering. They can't filter audio coming through the phone lines so this gets around that.
