Install FireFox. Where I am currently the transparent proxy doesn't work properly with it so the censoring thing they use doesn't work. If you don't have admin privileges there is a version that will run directly out of your home directory.

Anybody else try this? Surely you could get the boot for installed unapproved software!

I work for a goverment department and use a permy's account, I told him I needed access for technical reasons.

The guy who is supposed to do the monitoring is probably off sick anyway!

Find the tech bloke - Take him out for a few beers - That works

Claim

that you're a muslim and are 'praying' online.

(interestingly you know the way that muslims kneel towards mecca, well, given that we live on a (roughly) spherical planet, they're also mooning mecca at the same time. Just though I'd share that with you.)

RDP connection to some terminal server at home and you can surf without leaving a trace!!

I use wormholes to bypass such stupid restrictions.

If you are not high enough lifeform to appreciate the beauty of my solution then have a pie and take it easy.

But you're not installing it. You can even run it off a USB key drive - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

This may soon become a corporate standard in some of the places I worked, why do PM's think code is like a Porn movie? Quantity does not equal Quality.
