Hi There,
You could use PHP but I would really go another route such as using a VPN
connection between the office and your home computer, this assumes that your
office has not blocked outgoing vpn connections such as PPTP.
General setup instructions would be something such as:
1. Verify how your office network is setup. Probably some private IP subnet
(ex. 192.168.0.0/255) that use a NAT router to connect to the internet using
some (not important) public IP.
2. Setup your home NAT router's DHCP to use a different private IP subnet
(ex. 192.168.1.0/255) that is different that the office. This is very
important because if they are the same your will have conficts.
3. Configure home NAT router to forward PPTP trafic to IP address of the
PPTP server (ex. forward port 1723 to 192.168.1.100)
4. Setup a PPTP server daemon (VPN) with authentication.
5. Note your home network's public IP (ex. 999.999.999.999)
5. Setup MS PPTP client to connect to the IP address in no. 4
When connected to the PPTP server all non local traffic at work (IPs outside
of 192.168.0.0/255) will pass through the PPTP encrypted tunnel and will in
effect show up on the web as having originated from your home network's
public address.
I have used the same setup for years except that I went the other direction.
I routed home traffic through the office which allowed me to access office
resources and the internet from my offices network.
One thing that I can see as problamatic is the use of a proxy server at the
office. The proxy would need to be transparent. What I mean is that the
proxy server should not be set in the lan settings of the connection tab of
your internet options.
You may want to research if stunnel (www.stunnel.org) could be used for this
sort of setup.
