I'm in the process of looking into hosting packages to use with various projects i'm tinkering with at the min (mainly for learning), i'm needing PHP, sql.. all the usual biz for playing with forums and CMS, but i'm wondering what's involved when trying to set-up a 'gateway portal' on my server space, enabling me to login to my box from work, then access the web via a proxy, un-restricted from any site filtering or blocking ?

Ideally you'd need to install some software at work on the computer for graphical surfing:
xming from here Xming - PC X Server
Then install Putty from here - PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client
Enable X11 forwarding within the setup of putty, run xming on your local computer, log into the remote server using putty and then start your remote browser by typing say
firefox
at the comamnd prompt on the putty session. Other than that, if you don't want graphical, install putty on your local computer, make sure a program called "lynx" is installed on the remote server, log into the remote server with putty and type
lynx Yahoo!
from the command prompt.
