Great way to piss off the IT department.

We had to take away an IM program from some users because it was only for specific users who work on a specific account and users who weren't on that account had access to it too. So the users it was taken from said "fine, we'll work around it and use backdoors". Guess what's now blocked. Guess who got in trouble for circumventing IT policies and content filters.

While IT policies may be inconvenient, and we're all lucky we have access to LoT at work, it's not in anyone's best interest to circumvent the IT policies to get to websites just because you want to. Please don't encourage it.

Sincerely,

IT departments everywhere.
