try downloading the program ultrasurf

it works like a proxy, but its a program that you can put on a USB, so its incredibly hard to block it.

this is what eventually won the war that was raging between my school and the IT department.
before this was found, any proxy site that we all used was blocked within the hour, and it was getting to the point where the first 60 pages of google's results for phproxy were all blocked

To sound boring, but generally going around your works IT policy isnt a great idea especially if you get caught...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Indeed, gaming sites are blocked where I work too so I just wait until I am home to look at them (not that I get much time for surfing these days anyway!).

One option you could look into if you have a smartphone with dataplan is USB tethering, the advantage of that is you won't be going through the corporate network at all so you can look at anything you want without fear of detection (barring people physically looking at what you are doing, browser history etc).
 
Home PC:
Proxy server listening on 9999
SSH listening on 443
Router config > forward 443 to HomePCInternalIP:443

Work PC:
PuTTy > Connect SSH session to HomePCExternalIP:443 with 9999 tunnelled to HomePCInternalIP:9999 (configure Putty to use your proxy under connection options if you don't have a direct connection out...this is likely)
Configure browser proxy to HomePCInternalIP:9999

Result? Browse what you want 'non suspiciously' encrypted on a port that would normally carry such data.

Potential audit points? Local PC via history etc. Workaround? Use Chrome Incognito browsing or alike.

Want to take it further? Configure Home PC to accept RDP/VNC. Tunnel 3389/relevant port over SSH and RDP to home PC and do everything via that.

Job done.

Any proxy app is easy to block/detect if your IT dept want it blocked. Short of fully locking down your PC they wont be able to restrict an SSL VVPN connection. But even then if they analyse the traffic enough they could tell if you were up to no good.

In other words. Do your job you lazy bum!

They let you run .exe's :eek:
 
USB devices get scanned here so anything on it be picked up. People got into trouble for have 1000s on MP3s on their PC but they were actually on their iPod which was plugged into their PC to recharge. I use a mains charger now :)

You can use Google Reader to access RSS feeds off gaming sites and blogs. Problem is some feeds are little more then links to the main site but others have full articles in it.
