No. If you are using tor (for example) at your office, the office firewall can't see what you're doing, they just see encrypted data. However, if there is a tap _on_ _your_ _computer_ they can see what you're doing.

     I meant like this:

                            My Computer-----------------*Local
Tap-*-------------------[first node]------    -------   -------Destination

I think you meant traffic going out from My Computer is encrypted, so
*Local Tap *can't read it. Right?
*
*Traffic coming back from Destination must pass through [first node],
*Local Tap*, before reaching My Computer. Please clarify, does *Local
Tap* see unencrpted traffic between [first node] and My Computer?
