A little background: Somethings I want to access from within work are blocked. It's nothing nefarious - I like both work and home emails to sync as I tend to get lost between them and miss things, [Discworld MUD Website](http://discworld.starturtle.net/?ref=badllama.net) was mis-identified as - you know - naughty things, and so on. Originally I connected through webmail and an SSH tunnel for the MUD but that was a little restrictive. So, after many many years of hearing these words but letting them pass me by, I setup a SOCKS5 proxy running through one of my under-utilised web servers and now everything is (almost) pukka! Videos below, just in case they're ever of use to anyone.
