Better check your work policies.

Taking actions to bypass work filters can be a dismissable offense.

It's a dismissable offence at my workplace. And incredibly easy to track too.

Just a warning.

Thanks. Somebody once told me that proxies were untraceable. Thanks all for your help

Depends on what kind of filter your office has.

Generally if sites are being blocked...there is a good chance that they're logging your internet traffic...where you're going, how much bandwidth you're using, etc, etc.

And if the Network Admin isn't lazy, he'll check periodically where everyone is going.

They may not be able to trace where you went (and that depends upon the proxy you go through), but they will know the address of where you are going and they can look themselves.

What about setting up a VPN server at home and tunneling into that to do all web browsing?

The traffic is secured, but as far as I understand things, the connection can be logged.

You might be asked why you are sending so much data through a SSL tunnel to an unknown IP. And if you use incorrect browser/network settings, your domain lookup requests get broadcast to the entire network anyway and can be logged.

You can tunnel your IP over DNS.....

You'll still show alot of traffic to your computer, and alot of DNS requests, but there will be no history unless they packet log DNS requests which is strange.

Not really easy to do but kinda funny and HARD to track... Although if its against your work rules then just don't use the internet at work or make friends with an admin......

They like beer and chocolate bars. WoW gameplay cards also work for the vast majority of them ;)

... what is the deal with most IT people and Diet Coke? The average admin's desk is covered with the remains of hundreds of chocolate bars and Dorito bags, but there is the leaning tower of Diet Coke in the back. Never made sense to me...

ROFL... not that I would know anything about it but diet coke has the most caffeine of any of the "Cola's" if I'm not mistaken... there might be another one out now, but for the longest time it had the most.

I check the network traffic at my work and there was a person a couple of months ago that started using these sites. We could not tell where he went once he got to them but his time spent on the proxy site was quite large as well as the bandwidth. Sure we could not tell where he was going but who spends 4+ hours on a site like that to go to msn or google....;)

We had a talk with him and he has not been let go but pretty much let him know if it continues then it can lead to that. I don't want to get someone fired over something like that but come on 4 - 5 hours surfing a site like that, one time his total browsing for the day was 11 hours. How the hell can you even do that.

I don't "rat" on people until upper management starts harping why our bandwidth costs are going up!... I won't hold anything back...

They used to ask for monthly reports, but unless I highlighted a porn site or something it ment nothing to them...

Before you ask... yes there was a content filter but you'd be amazed at what people who surf porn at work can find with google image searches, on peoples personal websites...
