Trevor:
Heya. Since you're running a Linux box at home, you
can "kill two birds with one stone" here by setting up an
SSH tunnel. That is, run a proxy-aware SSH client at work
(eg, PuTTY, Mindterm, etc) and setup a tunnel to your SSH
server on your home network. Then, at work, point your VNC
viewer to the start of tunnel you setup.
There's good documentation on the VNC site about
setting up SSH tunnels. Usually it's done just for the
security; in your case, though, it helps "get past" the
proxy as well.
cheers,
Scott
