how to get out of this proxy thing with Linux?

enjoy ;)

But if you network admin is any good they will notice an unusual amount of ssl traffic, and can follow the url lookup and see your using a proxy.

Connecting directly to 192.241.169.122 will obfuscate it, but reverse lookups are trivial.

But do understand you risk your job circumventing their acceptable use policies.

Hi Kevin,

This isn't a fancy joke but you have to remember that these machines are setup this way to keep company assets clean of infection and possible data breaches, they aren't meant for your personal use.

With that said you also have to remember that if you were to get caught i'm sure your company has policies in place that can lead up to termination. I know my policies do.

Moving forward, if you feel the need to browse the internet why not just buy a cheap tablet or something and bring it to work with you? Maybe your company has a BYOD policy as well so you can hook up to Wi-Fi.

Hi Kevin,

You can do this using two ways:

1) Asking to Administrator for the permission by giving a good reason for it. - Legal way.

2) Try using "anonymous proxy servers". Google it and you will know. I do not recommend to use this as this must be illegal in your org.

Anyways, I wish you a good luck.

I'd second the poster above recommending the flash drive VPN. It will make your computer totally isolated from the work computer. Do whatever you want at no risk to your work machine.

My partner and i suggest making use of VPNPower to be able to unblock sites. I've been using them since 5 years. http://www.vpnpower.net/

I highly recommend using http://www.vpnpower.net/ to be able to unblock sites. I've been with them since four years.
