The best thing about foxyproxy is that you can completely hide the fact that anything odd is going on by setting up rules for only the sites that you know are not allowed by the filters. That way if they are monitoring your activities you don't suddenly have 0 traffic going out where your normal traffic is normal browsing.<br>
<br>Having said that any of these techniques are quite obvious to anyone watching the network so you could get caught... not that you would be doing anything bad but if there are corporate policies setup and you are working on a corporate system on the corporate network then you should probably abide by those policies especially during this time of people no longer getting the corporate check :)<br>
<br>I get paid to test these systems so that's why I do it, but I've generally got a get out of jail free authorization letter. Your results may vary.<br><br>--j<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 10:19 PM, Gabe Turner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gabe@msi.umn.edu">gabe@msi.umn.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
