You are compromising the company's network making contact with your home
network that has not been approved and is most likely a non secure
situation. That's the issue. The issue is that you don't have the
authority to do it or they would have given you that authority to make
that contact.
What's so important that you would risk the company's security like that
and possibly put your job in jeopardy?
I have seen employees' severely reprimanded or terminated for such
security breaches. As a matter of fact, I have seen people be terminated
for a far less security breach on the network than what you want to do.
Any FW or Network Security Admin worth his or her beans will spot your
traffic as that is their job with you using a company machine and DHCP IP
linked to the machine on the company's LAN. They know the LAN IP and the
remote WAN IP traffic is going to and coming from by looking at the logs.
And they do review those logs on a routine basis.
