I still must say it is unwise to circumvent your internet filters. While not much will probably be done about it (since your IT dept has better things to worry about and internet useage should be between employee and boss), it can be used against an employee if there were any issues regarding employment.

I don't mean to be a downer, just to be aware that there is a reason for the filters and a reason your company has an IT policy (that you probably signed upon being hired).

Eh... I say screw the IT folks. They're just a bunch of power hungry geeks trying to exert power to make up for the years of taunting in school.

You're just jealous.

C - This is what I tell the people in my office: I don't care what you do online, as long as it is legal. I have way to much to do to babysit your internet useage. That is between you and your boss.

Just don't download software you shouldn't. Like Limewire and then get mad at me when I remove all unauthorized software and delete files in attempt to save the files you refuse to store on the public drive.

Are you kidding, it was my IT department that told me about using azureus to bit torrent.

heh.

Not on the office computer, of course

Yeah, thanks for the warnings, BTD. Now someone just tell me how to do it already. I don't care if it's grounds for termination, since I am two steps from quitting.

I was going to go the route Moonliner outlined, but being able to access LoT from work is not worth leaving my home computer on all day (it has power management issues, but I wouldn't do it anyway).

So, all warnings having been given, what are these proxy sites, how do they work, how do I get it going? I'm a big boy (well, you know what I mean) and I'll takes my chances.

LOL, I see I'm not the only one, heheh.

iSm: you could always try the option suggested in post #11. Lemme know how that works for ya

What do you want to do Steve. Just be able to get the content of a page or be able to do things that require session management (anything that requires logging in and having cookies set and stuff).

The former is much easier than the latter. It can be done in about 15 lines of code with PHP and there are plenty of web sites that will do it for you. The latter is much more difficult.

For example, I can easily make a page with the URL of http://www.alexstroup.com/ that loads the MiceChat home page. But it will only do so as if you aren't logged in.

Oh, I gotta be able to post. Just looking? Never enough for me. Might be more frustrating than no access at all.
