Rob, it sure sounds like you are violating your corporate network
policy. If the open ports 80 and 443, then they only want you browsing
the internet for work purposes - and connecting to your home system has
nothing to do with WORK.

In my wan, I would easily detect that you are connecting to a NON-
COMPANY based IP (meaning something like comcast or RR) and hunt you
down and terminate your connection - then turn your logs over to your
department head and let him deal with you.

I know, you think this is harsh, but consider how much time you waste at
work that your employer is paying for. Get a clue, work at work.

Harsh I know, but if you can't install anything and the down allow
connections outbound, then you should not be trying to subvert the
intent.
