I've been toying with a number of things that would require me to set up a web server on my Mac at home to access from work and other places. For example, I'd love to set up Webjimbo so I can check my Yojimbo notes remotely. The problem is, my ISP blocks ports 80 and 443 (along with many other 'popular' ports. I understand their reason for doing this, but since I'm not running a business or public website (really just setting up remote access), I won't be violating their TOS (I hope! .)

The obvious solution is to use a non-standard port that my ISP doesn't block coming into my Mac. The problem is my company blocks outgoing access to non-standard ports so I have to use 80 or 443 to connect from work to my Mac at home. Is there any type of service that I can use (hopefully free) that will proxy between home and work with something like a port-forwarding thingy? (Sorry, too technical. )

Thanks.

- Leon
