    Following a similar web searching at work thread. How do you get around the web filters at work?

    Here's mine:

    You can get in trouble at work by bypassing web filters.

    Sorry I didn't reply with something witty given the forum we are in but depending on some places of employment they take it quite seriously.

    /goes to look at redtube through five different proxies

    Sure, just run an ipconfig in your command prompt. Locate the gateway address(Firewall is not always the gateway). Browse to the gateway web interface using a web browser. Go find your IT administrator and beat him up for the password and add your AD account or PC IP address into the admin or exceptions list on the firewall. (Instructions vary depending on firewall make and model).

    When I was working in a company where they did such things, I used ssh tunnelling to make a SOCKS proxy out of my home computer. Pretty damned nerdy...

    could always setup a logmein.com account. Assuming you have a computer at home that is turned on, and online, you can connect into it, and surf away on that, from work.
