I am not quite getting how the user things bypassing client co security is acceptable. Just because you can bypass it it doesn't mean it is ok. The client doesn't want you viewing the sport pages.. period.. whatever method you use to get around this you are breaking client co policy. Is it worth it?

If all you want to do is read the sports news at lunchtime, get a Kindle and subscribe to some newspapers. You can sync it with wifi before you leave in the morning, so no breach of the "no mobile/3g access on site" policy, and it's very obvious that it's for reading rather than anything that might attract attention from information security departments.
Or subscribe to RSS feeds on your smartphone and sync them in the morning before you leave, that works too. Unless they make you hand over your phone at the door (which some places do)."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is?

He is also obviously not aware that clients ban things like sports pages and facebook for a good reason i.e. permies wasting a lot of their time on it, or doing streaming from the sports pages."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

As others have pointed out you are taking a risk bypassing restrictions client co have placed on the use of their network. Personally I would rather bring my own internet access.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

SSH is your friend ! you can use local port fowarding into the tunnel to your home network. Works very effectively and will always get you marched off site if found out. So dont get caught.
