Nope. There are no blocked sites in my office, but if there were I would respect the fact that my employer was paying for my time and owned the equipment I was working on and had the right to create those limitations. I take issue with the suggestion that employees are "forced" to use proxies in this circumstance: they're actually free to simply follow the rules.

Hmmmm....right!

So you say you don't need proxies....

Maybe you don't...

How about highly censored countries???

You want free information? Do it on your own time. Nobody pays you to be a free-thinker.

But it promotes free information....

People who use proxies are assholes.

Before you click the "report" button, seriously think about what I'm saying: By using a proxy, the administrators have to implement fancy little workarounds to prevent their usage. These workarounds typically consist of blocking programs that allow you to change the proxy settings (i.e. Firefox Portable) or, for the unskilled, they simply block web-based proxies.

Additionally, using proxies means that people who wish to initiate DoS attacks without the help of a botnet are forced to choose from a smaller pool of proxies. Think of the script-kiddies.

(Yes, the last point is meant to be read as satire.)

why?

Maybe because you have access to the system...Or are you the system administrator?

I use Kproxy at college....Even kproxy is blocked so hav to use their IP address!

Consider the case of China, UAE etc. where almost all social media websites and even gmail is blocked!

Nope. I have an understanding with the boss.

Being self-employed does have some benefits. ;)

Strict restrictions at work place force many employees use Proxy sites to browse through specific webites.

Social Media like Orkut, facebook,myspace, twitter etc are blocked in most offices, but the professionals are so addicted that they can't resist the urge to use a proxy and get through the firewall.

Do you use proxies at work to access blocked websites?
