If they are like us, they use a subscription service. An application that runs on the proxies that has a list of websites employees shouldn't be going to. If its a big company, I doubt they have time to track the amount of time an employee spends browsing websites. They usually only do it if your manager request it, and even then they still don't like doing it because it drags them into a legal battle. And the reason they put the blocking service in in the first place was to avoid those legal battles.

inexplicably, firefox portable installed on a flash drive will bypass a lot of blocked sites.

No idea why.

Depends on how the block is setup. If a network proxy is the only way to get out to the internet (ie no default route in your network) and the blocking software is on the network proxy, then its very hard to bypass.

Probably won't be too long for me... I accidentally stepped away the other day with the "Magic Mushroom" thread left open, only to come back upstairs to find the IT boss updating some drivers and stuff on my machine...

He scolded me in a nice way about it, but I have to be more careful... lol
