This way all external traffic, including DNS requests, is fully encrypted from prying eyes in IT (including IM messages). I've use wireshark to verify the traffic, and boy is it encrypted.

This also allows me to directly connect to my home routers/adapters/PC from work. I can monitor the status of the RT (and WRT) from the comfort of my office chair.
Well, I can't tunnel back to my home computer from the office. Well, I could, but I would have to fire myself. I don't work in IT, but Security of the network falls under my control, and when I see people connecting to their network at home to bypass filters and such, they get marched to HR. There is too many things that people have access on here that we can't have either walking off, or a unsecured internet point coming in.

BUT, I know what you are saying.
