This is simpler than wrestling with iptables.


1) Run squid on your homeserver (port 3128 by default)
2) Configure your web browser to use the proxy on localhost:8080 for 
   http/https/ftp
3) Create a ssh tunnel from localhost:8080 to homeserver:3128
   (ssh -f -C -L 8080:127.0.0.1:3128 -l pll homeserver sleep 7200)
4) Profit! Er, browse!
