The larger the company the better but please understand the risks if you are caught. Your traffic is 100% encrypted from your web browser to the web server you are connecting to but there's always a chance a network administrator could log onto your machine remotely (to apply a patch or help you with some application) and see you have a ssh tunnel open. Just be smart and don't visit sites you wouldn't want your cube neighbor to see. Just like alcohol, please use responsibly.

I'd been trying for weeks to get something like this going but could never get it to work. What do you think the chances are of me getting caught? How would they?

I was setting the very same thing up as you on my machine when I learned I was on a super locked down subnet that I shouldn't have been on. Nice Luke.

I've been (almost) this exact thing for the past few months at my place of business. The only difference is that they do in fact block outbound ssh sessions on port 22, so I had to configure an instance of SSHD on my machine to listen on a standard, widely used port (8080). I also added a Squid caching server on the SSH server to speed things up a bit. hah! nice writeup. I’ve been (almost) this exact thing for the past few months at my place of business.
