Hi list,
I've been looking for a way to access my home machine from my office but to no avail. They have ftp blocked, internet access is through a windoze proxy server (any more than three login attempts & it locks my account so no experimenting) & no access to outside world via telnet/ssh (u see even ping google.com fails :( )
Anybody has a way out (or in ;) ) I wouldn't mind reading the manpage if I knew which :)
Regards,
Ok, lets try to tackle this. assumption: Your home machine is always ON and you know the ip address either direct or via dyndns or equivalent. question who will shut your which account if you try to login 3 times where?
Possibility: Can you setup a VPN at home? i.e. the server is home and you install/configure a client at work? would that work? not that you would break any rules, but you could.

Yes, we can presume that the IP Address is known.

Actually the account is my Windows NT Domain account. The same account is used by Windows proxy for authentication before allowing internet access. The account gets locked (i.e. no mail access using Exchange server/no surfing) if the password in entered wrongly thrice in the authentication dialog box in the browser. (But in retrospect this doesn't seem related to my home access problem).

Can VPN work through/over this Windows proxy server? If yes, then I would have to start reading the linux+VPN howto I would have to try it find out the outcome.
