That's precisely the reason I do all my surfing through an ssh tunnel to
my home server running a squid proxy, bypassing the corporate monitoring

You are most correct there. With any proxy, including your own,
they cannot determine where you went. They would know you
were going to a proxy, but would NOT know where you went
BEYOND that proxy.

Which in turn is why many companies block access to proxies.

However, proxies, are sprouting up like weeds so fast that the
filteirng companies cannot keep up with them half the time.
Proxies come and go at such a huge rate, that they cannot keep
with them. And my proxy is one of thousands of them being
operated as public proxies.
