Well, I'm glad I didn't hit anything sensitive through that service, and basically only checked mail over SSH. One of the things I'm considering doing (but not got around to yet), is building myself a "friendly" Squid proxy on my office network. Then, whenever I'm on my travels, I open an SSH session to my office network, and tunnel all web traffic through the SSH session to my Squid. That's the best solution I can think of for this kind of stuff. Anyone else got any ideas?
