The only way to get around corporate filters like bluecoat is to use a proxy. The hard part is finding freely accessible ones. Prydain has a free listing of online proxies on there site.





Go to http://prydain.futurecis.com and click on Utilities, then check out "Online Proxy Listing"
Reply:Proxies .. and you should use an encrypted one.


TOR (tor.eff.org) is perticularly good at that, espically when used with firefox (mozilla.org/firefox) and the "foxyproxy" and "noscript" plugins.





I know this because I'm a security admin for a large university, and because we used to run a TOR exit node.





anyway .. the admins at your office will probably know you're doing it (if they're any good), so if corporate policy says "don't do it" and you find a way to do it anyway -- and get caught -- expect them to be none too pleased.
