My suggestion would be to just install a modern (>=3.0, IIRC) version of OpenSSH on both machines, then use it to create a SOCKS4 forwarding proxy thingy. Just point connect to your home machine, and point your browser at work the the proxy port OpenSSH creates on the localhost. If your work is blocking outgoing SSH, then run SSH at home on port 80 or such. If they're proxying port 80 through some sort of HTTP-understanding proxy, then use httptunnel. Be careful though, because despite how stupid your workplace's policy is, they can still sack you if they don't like you evading their poorly designed Big Brother system :-) -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> http://ertius.org/
