I suppose a reverse SSH tunnel to your home machine and then a second tunnel
forwarded through the home machine to the destination would (in theory)
work, although I can't test this where I am at the moment.
You might want to have a look at this article - it sort of covers chaining
SSH tunnels (an
Gitso is great for this.
It creates a reverse VNC tunnel - meaning that the end user whose machine
you wish to control has to establish a connection back to you. This means
that they are in control of the session and it gives them assurances that
you cannot just login again at a later date.

In there you should be able to see Shared Folders and Sessions. Check that
