I had a tunnel through my workplace's firewall at my last job.  I set it
up only having any control of my firewall at home.  I had no control of
the firewall at work, and while the IT guy permitted the tunnel, I
wouldn't have gotten it had he had to modify the firewall at his end.

Now, can you explain to me how my computer at home could've initiated a
TCP connection for a key exchange to my computer at work?

BTW, it had no problems initiating a key exchange via UDP.

Thanks,
