So how does that work then?
and can *I* do it from my desk?

What you need is...
Elsewhere, a system running sshd and a web proxy (such as squid) open on, say, port 8080.

Your co must allow out some port. SSH is usually 22 but any will do.

A local SSH client such as putty

Run putty, set it to tunnel port 8080 and connect to the remote system.

Set your browser to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as a proxy. (Your co may block this)

Et voila, unfiltered (albeit slow) web browsing.

I heard, "elsewhere, blah blah blah..."
C'est la vie. I need to read some more documents.

There's plenty of mirror sites for B3ta.
Apparently Google translate can be used as a proxy. Not sure whether that's true or not.
