if they are tunneling ssh you can't do any kind of filtering on it as ssh is encrypted. snip
William,
While yes, SSH is encrypted, it still must have some header for the proxy to read otherwise it doesn't get past the proxy. Further if the proxy is in standard mode being used to manage SSH connections, then a blacklist in V6 will stop it.
Otherwise a packet filter rule for ssh at the top of the filter list blocking all packets to the users home site. This will only work until they change their DNS name on the assumption they are using something like dyndns.
In the end it comes down to a company policy as William advised, unless you like the ongoing challenge of tracking the name changes.
