Example of Layer 3 VPN tunneling with openssh

I've recently set up a Layer 3 VPN tunnel between my home and work
with openssh. I found

to be a good starting point. However my situation differs from that
described in this document because my company's firewall only allows
outgoing ssh connections and because my work computer has a public IP
address. I managed to get the tunneling to work by installing a
second network card at work. The method and the scripts to set up the
tunnel are described in

Lets see, your company has a policy. You have installed a hardware device
to get around that policy. And you hope to remain employed by that company?
People have been jailed for similar actions.

I'm not sure what you're driving at here. Suffice it to say that I'm
not using hardware to circumvent the firewall. The additional network
card is on the internal network and subject to the firewall's
restrictions.
