VPN/Proxy server to bypass work proxy

bypassPROXYvpn

Here is my dilema, I am at work and can not set up a VPN connection to my VPN account in the USA. So what I would like to do is somehow have my "IE" at work connect to my home network and route any internet requests through my home PC to my VPN account, so I can access my USA Contents?

So what I was thinking and I am not sure if this will work, but set up a proxy server at home on my home computer, that then routes all requests to my VPN Tunnel to the USA. Have my work computer use my home computer as the proxy and viola I have unrestricted internet access? Does that sound feasable?

Thanks.

  1. get a cheap VPS account. You can find tons of choices at lowendbox.com. spotvps.com offers one for $15/year.
  2. Tunnel your IE traffic over SSH using Putty. Here's a guide I found on google: http://hidefinder.com/90/diy-socks5-vpn-putty.html

-You might need to run ssh over port 443 if your employer is blocking port 22

-This will only tunnel traffic for your browser. To tunnel all traffic you can setup OpenVPN. OpenVPN cannot be filtered since it uses standard protocols. This would be a more complicated option.

The ssh/putty route is really easy.
