Bypass a proxy restriction

A

adripillo

Hello, I have at work an old proxy that use port 3128, is an http proxy with out user and pass. There are some programs for windows that works fine, that allows you to "bypass" the proxy restriction and let you for example to connect to youtube to see videos.
I'm running FreeBSD 9.1rc with gnome2. My question is: Do we have some programs or some way to do the same? Thanks again in advance.
 
There's probably a very good reason why it's blocked. Why risk getting fired over it?

And yes, I would fire you if I found out you're circumventing my security policy.

I understand what you say but this is not the case. This person just shared it for some friend of him, so is not a security problem.

I sincerely advise you: don't do stupid things. There is a reason why system administrators cost 50$/hour for a companies.
You can effectively hide content inside of an encrypted channel, by it doesn't mean that you wouldn't be fired(if a statement in your first post about workplace is right).
SSH, ICMP,...,etc tunnels can be relatively easily catched and as result, - you will be fired

I second this. As a network admin it is my job to keep the corporate network secure, and performing adequately to conduct business.

That means controlling what goes in or out. By deliberately circumventing (or attempting to) my access controls, you are making my job much more difficult.

If you need access, ask the corp types or network admin for it.

If there's a business case, state it.

If it's just for facebook or whatever (no business case), use your phone.
