Subject: WiFi Private Browsing
So, my neighbours have an unsecured WiFi access point. I, of course, am not using it at all...

As a pet project, I'd like to see if one could set up a VPN or encrypt traffic or something over this network. Does anyone have any good sites to help me learn? This is obviously a purely academic exercise...

You can encrypt the traffic contents, but you can't encrypt the destination IP of the traffic, as the wireless router needs that in order to send it on there.
