if all you'd like to secure is WWW then these other tunneling protocols may be
a bit of an overkill. you can simply set up a squid or other sort of www
proxy on your home machine and set up a ssh tunnel to that proxy from your
work machine. then simply set the local end of your tunnel up as your http
proxy in your browser and everything should just work.
at home:
"# apt-get install squid"
at work:
"% ssh -f -L 12346:localhost:12345 123.45.67.89 sleep 99999"
where:
12346 is the port on your machine at work where you point your browsers http
proxy
12345 is the port that your squid server is running on at home
123.45.67.89 is the ip address/hostname of your machine at home
alternatley, ssh home and type "links".
