But it doesn't quite solve the problem of a corporate proxy which I have to use, but I found a way around (or through?) it.
I am using cygwin with socat, but there are probably other ways.
1. Install the squid proxy on your home computer.
2. Set up sshd on the home computer properly and in such a way a remote port on the internet can access it. (For example, our proxy lets SSL connections through on 8443, so I use that port on my router forwarded to 22 on my box).
3. Use socat (or netcat?) to do a proxy connect from localhost:22 (the standard ssh port) through the proxy to the remote, e.g.
socat proxy:proxy.bigcorporation.com:homecomputer.dynamicdns.com:8443, proxyport=123,proxyauth=usr:pwd tcp-listen:22,reuseaddr &
Then use ssh connect and forward the squid proxy port, e.g.
ssh -L 3128:127.0.0.1:3128 -X mainuser@localhost
The ssh will connect via socat to the home computer, and all proxy calls to the local squid port will be passed through to your home computer. No filtering. You might need a proxy manager for firefox (which I use) to switch between the corporate proxy and your squid at home.
One other reason to use a proxy anyway (even if you don't have to) - you can raise the firewall, and if anything wants to phone home, they will have to go through the proxy, so adding authentication there will prevent some malicious programs from getting through.
This should also be possible with public anonymizing proxies, but I haven't tried it.

The internet has become an inextricable part of contemporary life, both in terms of how we get things done at work and how we get things done in our everyday lives. The problem is, sometimes our personal use of the internet conflicts with what the bossman has in mind. As a firm believer that you can do your job well while getting in a little personal time with Sweet Lady Internet, this week I'm going to highlight a few methods for adding a layer of privacy and freedom to your work browsing.
