In other words, if the main idea is to eventually leave this employment and work for yourself, there is a lot of prep for working for yourself that can partially be done at work, in place of surfing the web. None of those options is easy or offers a free ride, but they are doable.

Just for general interest, anonymous browsing won't prevent employers from monitoring internet activity. The data is being tracked a level above the browser/pc. Unless you are going through a proxy, it is safe to assume that all net activity is tracked and can be traced back to the machine/username you are using to access the internet.
I agree 100% that the time currently spend being bored to death in a cubicle could be put to use furthering an escape plan or taking a class (employer paid for?) that will be marketable somewhere else.
I also agree that being at home is not boring!
