[clue-tech] proxy server

Make it an openvpn server and run openvpn client on your
workstation at work.  Then set your web browser on your
workstation at work to connect to your openvpn server's
internal IP address.

All of your web traffic will appear to be encrypted VPN data
to your home IP address.  This may make it stand out on the
radar of anyone checking traffic to various IP addresses,
but they won't be able to see what pages you viewed.

Also at some offices unauthorized VPNs could be a firing
offense due to security issues (if an attacker compromises
your machine at home, the attackers also have access to the 
inside of your company's network).

Hope that explains.
