It's there for a reason. If it's too sensitive, contact IT, and hopefully they can help you. If you're looking up porn, wait til you get home.

I used to work for a content filtering company and as a security consultant. I know a lot of people on here will be telling you to use proxy sites and all kinds of crazy idea's. Chances are your company would have paid vast amounts of money for their system and any workaround you think you have found would have been logged. Every single time you type in a URL is is LOGGED and can be used to name and shame you even the most basic firewalls have this functionality.
Moral of this story is wait til you get home to surf for porn

If your company firewall has been set-up correctly, unless you work in the IT department, no you can't bypass it. That's what firewalls are for - to stop unwanted traffic. If the pages you want are legitimate, tell the IT department, and they can allow access for you.

The easiest way is to view a webpage within a webpage. Use www.mathtunnel.com go to the site and then use type the url in the blank space provided at the bottom of the page. Keep using it until your admin blocks that, then use www.vtunnel.com, same principal.

Most firewalls are hardware. If you have a software firewall add the site you want to see to your exception list. If it's hardware look and see where the internet gateway is. (Start-Run-"cmd"-"tracert uk.yahoo.com") look at the jumps and see wherethe packets go. One will be the firewall, and if you are lucky one will be the gateway. Change the settings in IE to reflect this and bingo.

Thats a really good way to lose your job. Might be a good idea to find your local job centre first. Or ask you boss to provide a Internet PC for use during breaks which is unrestricted but use is monitored

If you bypass the firewall, it could cost you your job. Sure you want to take that chance? Besides, you may not be able to do it.

I guess the pages you should not be on have no relevance to your job, which us why they are blocked. Quit wasting your bosses time, and get on with the job you are being paid to do.
Ponder on this, I expect you would consider yourself an honest person? well if your boss is paying you, and you are not performing you duties as expected, you are defrauding Him/her. That is theft .
