I would like to connect to a public IP XP machine behind a firewall remotely and use it as a SSL Proxy.

IE I put the computers IP into the proxy field of my browser, and use the off subnet PC to browse the web, FTP etc.

I have installed a few proxy programs but they only provide proxy for local subnet IP's (ala connection sharing) and not through the firewall. It works as a proxy inside my local network but not across the internet through the firewall.

I have the proper ports open and I can reach the computer through a ping but I can't use it as a proxy.

Is there a program or method for using your home computer as a secure proxy when you aren't at home?

Any help would be appreciated. Please reply if you can help.
 
I'm pretty sure MS ISA server can do this...
and I'm confident that other (cheaper) products can do the same... --------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
