Last week someone at work mentioned our IT guy checking up on what sites people are accessing over the net, as if it is a regular thing, so the warning was be careful what you browse at work.

This has lead me to add a Socks v5 proxy tunnel to the SSH session I was using to RDP home. Am I right in thinking whatever now goes through the SSH tunnel can't be seen?

It was easy to setup and my IP in Chrome is now showing as my home IP (we use Firefox for work related stuff).

This may be worth a read:

It was worth a read, thanks.

All quite relevant I guess. I've not asked to open any outbound ports since I found some already open ones. I may change the port since the one I'm using probably usually gets very little traffic.

Hacker! I'm telling!

Shhhh.

The people who need to know already know.  I didn't need to do a thing :)
