I disagree with Michael and Orly. Maybe.
Do you get a public Digitel IP at home? If yes,
can you, e.g., put your computer at home on the
DMZ (or port forward ssh, e.g., into your home
computer) and then ssh straight to the computer
(if you know the external IP)?
If you can do all of that, then I've gotten
something like your case working before with a
former consulting client (fortunately I don't need
to do that at my current company since my current
company is cool :-).
openvpn can tunnel through squid (you need to use
proto tcpand do some other config). The other
requirement then is to be able to determine what
your home dynamic IP is. I use dyndns. but
you might want to find some other dynamic DNS
provider since dyndns doesn't like dumb
re-registering of the SAME IP, they want
you to only register your IP with them if
it's changed. although if your router is
smart (mine isn't very, isn't configurable to
register with dyndns only on IP change) then
dyndns is fine.
