Just google "proxy servers." There are hundreds upon hundreds of sites that allow one to circumvent the little roadblocks that companies like to throw up. The tech guy at our work has unfortunately found an excellent type of software that can't be hacked. No way, no how. Dammit.

If you have a smart phone, you can usually pay to enable it as a modem, $15 a month isn't bad.

Or do what I did and buy a cellular modem... $60 a month isn't cheap, and it's FOR work but it's also handy for goofing off AT work.

Basically means that you re-route all your traffic through ssh via a server setup on the other side. Kinda like proxies, but encrypted.

My brother was able to tunnel through my server from work in the states with all traffic blocked, Saudi Arabia, and even played World of Warcraft, abeit a bit choppy.

Unless your IT dept. opens connection to only pre-approved sites / ports / protocols and block the rest, it's pretty hard to block everything.

You all should read this thread through the eyes of an employer or manager. You would be taking Maalox with them.

Or even worse, through the eyes of a human resources manager who has been told to start making cuts due to the economy. YOU will be taking Maalox.

As an employer, I would be close to inclined to fire somebody for what amounts to stealing time...

Perhaps you should be self employed.. that way you could surf all day, and you would be paying for your own time... not your employer.

I am the manager and the IT guy at our office.....the deal is I really don't even want to know what my guys are doing with their unblocked internet. I'm sure I would just get pissed and someone would get fired.
Oh well.... I guess I have to pick my battles.

Productivity is a pretty good battle ground.
