Here is my delimma: At work there is a restrictive firewall. I want to view some sites but if the word Game (and other words) are in the metatag or something, the site is automatically restricted. I think a good way around this would be to setup my home PC to server as a kind of proxy web server. Basically, I want to go to my home PC's website (which I have yet to setup), tell it where to go, have my home PC go there and shoot the resulting pages to my PC at work. Also all of the cookies and popups and crap should stay at my home PC. Blackcode.com has a feature simialr to this called Smartbrowse, which I am effectively trying to duplicate since their site has been exceedingly slow to get to from work and I can't get there at all most days. Blackcode is borderline hacker oriented also, so my employer may not like me going there at all either. In any case, does anyone know if this has been done before and/or how hard this will be to setup? I already have IIS setup on my home PC and have sucessfully gone to my home website before I disabled IIS on it (I don't want to be too open for hackers :P). Oh and before someone recommends it, I can't do a remote desktop connection anymore (which was great while it lasted) as they have upgraded/changed something that precludes me from establishing the connection now. Any help would be appreciated. I'm actually rather surprized no one has done something like this before. (And I don't want any pay for use solutions - ie. gotomypc :( ) Thanks in advance. Robert

Remote Desktop may still be a solution. Chances are that your employer just blocked the defualt port that remote desktop uses. Try changing the default port to something else and give it a go (or try another RD type program such as the free VNC). Here are a couple of articles on chaging RD's port.

I will try that, though this is the military so I do not know that it will work as I think(hope?) DoD would be smart enough to fully block this if that was their intent. We shall see, I am going to try the VNC thing, it sounds interesting.

Well the Remote Desktop still doesn't work despite the change of ports. Trying to setup VNC but I think Zonealarm on my home PC blocked me. Oh well, have to configure it next week. Thanks for the ideas though.
