How to surf at work

Kevin was kind enough to point to an article that tells people how to get around all the firewall and content restrictions we put in place on our work networks! Thanks a lot! 🙂

Seriously though, I’ve always been of the opinion that if you are technically capable enough to do all that, you were going to find someway around all the firewall restrictions anyway, so I’m not all that worried about anyone reading it. Now the ban we have here against installing any software not pre-approved and tested by me, that one is much more important to me.

Here’s how I figure it, you want to do some personal surfing at work? Fine. As long as you are getting your job done, how you spend your time is an issue between you and your boss, not me. But, if you’re doing something that is going to damage your workstation or the network in any way, well that’s MY problem, and you won’t like me if you cause me problems!
