Before this gets moved, I will do you a favor.

I work in a corporate NOC (Network Operating Center). If you value your job, forget it.

I run one and concur. We're like the eye in the sky....

Better to go with a cell modem on a personal laptop.

I am a computer security researcher/consultant. There are some fairly simple ways to get out of most office proxies/firewalls, but I'd listen to these fine NOC guys and not attempt it.

Sites like anonymizer tend to not work through most corporate proxies, but often ssh can find it's way out (you can easily proxy ssh through an http/https proxy).

I guess if you guys don't know of way then it really isn't that possible. Thanks.

Just because the proxy doesn't recognize the packets going through it, doesn't mean nobody knows your workstation is sending and receiving weird traffic.

And if anybody gets curious enough to sniff your traffic, and sees that it's anonymous proxy stuff, you're going to get some unwelcome attention.

It's not that there's no way around the proxy server. It's just that there's no way you can run traffic that can't be looked at.

Internet monitoring of employee surfing/e-mail is illegal except in certain circumstances. There are a few cases out there where employees have sued and won. The legal test for what is considered consent by an employee to monitoring is not clear cut.

FYI

Ha ha ha. I'd like to see what cases you're citing. You are on company time, using company equipment and bandwidth, but what you surf on the Internet is your own business?

I don't think the OP can afford a lawyer that good.

OOOOO YEAH

In my office several people use XPs remote desktop to use a home puter to view blocked internet sites, play games ect. I'm not a nerd so I have no clue about how to do it other that it's a set of build in options, the one time I tried to set it up almost cost me a monitor. Basicaly only images are sent to your work computer from an unknown address all the connecting to stuff and processes are run from the remote computer.
