I know this isn't going to be a popular answer, but have you considered
the possibility that trying to circumvent your $WORKPLACE network access
policies is just a bad idea? That they *will* be able to see you making a
consistent connection to your home PC regardless of how secure it is, and
know precisely how much data you're moving? And that this alone might be
enough to get you fired?
Here's a novel idea..... you're suppose to be working, not surfing.
They're paying you to do the former, so why not concentrate on that and
leave the surfing until you're actually sitting at your home PC.
