I love that utility! Definitely one of the best sharewares I've found these past months...
The company I work for doesn't allow outbound connections other than TCP 22/80/443. Thanks to ShareTool, I can now access to all my machines at home, including printers, Time Capsule, etc. The browsing proxy is great as well to test firewall rules and web sites seen as coming from the outside. And last but not least, ShareTool allowed me to get access to my POP/IMAP/SMTP servers by bypassing the company network policy.
Of course, it would probably be possible to do the same thing by building SSH tunnels, playing with the VPN and and hacking around, but ShareTool makes it all up and running in ONE minute - 100% hassle free.
