i'm away on business sitting in a hotel for the night, something i usually do once or twice a week. I don't sleep much so to help pass the time i normally play poker into the wee hours of the morning.

However after checking in this evening i discover that the hotels firewall is blocking the sites that i usually play on - message reads "website is blocked by Sonicwall reason forbiddeen category Gambling" Is there a way i can bypass/disable the firewall without putting my laptop at risk to viruses etc?

Thanks
