Hello,

Yes, this is possible. From home, you would ssh to your work's external
IP address. You don't specify the setup you have at work, but at a
minimum you need to have fowarding rules setup in the company's
firewall to direct your ssh connection to your workstation. Obviously,
if you can ssh in, so can anyone else. Be sure you use a _very_ good
password.

HTH,

Stheg
