connecting to oscp lab from work

Because of typical work firewall rules I can't ssh out to my home oscp laptop. However, the boss said using ssh on cloud 9 (c9.io) is
fine during lunch and to check into during the day as long as I don't over do it.
cloud 9 runs inside the browser and provides a fully functional bash shell inside the online VM. With that beautiful shell, I can ssh to the home laptop, ssh to the kali vm and connect to the crazy thinc.local domain.
Anyone see any major security risks doing this? Obviously, I like having a job. We want to know if anyone has any thoughts about this that my boss and I have not considered.

I don't see why you'd get in trouble. Your boss knows whats going on.
Yes, and now I have this thread to refer back to if the boss denies it

*****You can fail a test a bunch of times but what matters is that if you fail to give up or not*****
1) Google/research/read what you need at work. save/review notes. (do what you can when you are not at home). NO DOWNLOADS.
2) Buy a hotspot $40 USD/month + device (YMMV) that only your laptop will use to connect out... see if your boss would like to expense it. At the least you show that you are willing to separate your play area and the production network.
3) See if there are opportunities to work from home 1 or 2 times a week (maybe more). This may depend on what your may allow you to do from home.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
You could do it the way you suggest, but you'll have a ton of problems when you start attacking boxes. If you are just doing labs, you should be fine. But you'll have to set your mtu lower or you'll have problems with the windows7 machine.
It is your personal IPS to stop the attack.
