I want to know which program is recommended in order to setup such as scenario, i.e. accessing the Internet from work or other places where traffic is monitored by installing a HTTP tunneling service in a home computer.
EDIT: Is it possible to achieve the same by installing a home proxy?

, port 8118).Your home computer will then be your gateway to the internet rather than some server at work. There is a downside to this and that is your web surfing is most likely to slow down considerably because you'll be at the mercy of your home connection's upstream bandwidth. For instance, my DSL connection at home is 12Mbps down, but only 768Kbps up. So, I'm limited to downloading at 768Kbps if I use my home proxy as opposed to our work connection which is much faster. You can always use another browser (or use Firefox and FoxyProxy to makes toggling the proxy easy) when you need more bandwidth, say for a work-related download.
