Bypass work proxy

Post by MamieSophie »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello little friends.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with video games, but...
I would like to know if any of you would have a killer technique from hell (or simply a little tutorial...) to bypass the proxy set up by my wonderful network admin...

Thanks a lot!

It's doable, but if the admin notices, you risk getting your ears pulled or worse (headed for the door)

Can they notice by looking at logs or by looking at my screen?

It's perfectly doable, one of the techniques consists of setting up an ssh tunnel between your work computer and your personal computer.

However, as kalidor points out, there's a lot to lose if you get caught.

At the same time right now I'm on the net via teamviewer on my computer... The admins are aware since they're the ones who installed Teamviewer for me. They didn't say yes because they wouldn't be allowed to but they didn't say no either because I'm not doing anything wrong...

Anyway if I have to stay like this that's fine with me, it was just to make browsing more convenient.

And I'd also like to say that my main boss is 100% against the proxy but since I have 3 bosses...

You can make an SSH tunnel but it doesn't happen in 3 seconds.

If you signed an IT policy, that's an instant serious offense!

I haven't signed anything at all, just a confidentiality agreement about not leaking the company's films online.

But you're scaring me, I'll just stick with my little Teamviewer....

In the absence of an IT policy, it might be mentioned in the internal rules.
Sure teamviewer isn't a cure-all but it's approved by the network admins.

Honestly, without being sure, I wouldn't risk my job to browse "more easily", tunneling is a good idea but since it's easily spotted it's clear it's better to keep using Teamviewer ^^ (personal opinion of course).

Otherwise you have https://www.frozenway.com/

Not bad :)

But first you need to know why you want to bypass the proxy, that'll give an idea of the restrictions in place!
On which OS?
Which browser? (because firefox forces certain proxies :) , or Firefox PHProxy module)

If it's only the network firewall blocking, here's an addition:

Have firefox :mrgreen:

How a firewall works is fairly simple: the PCs on the network are linked to a server where software is installed, which will allow or not a page to be displayed.

To get around this protection which can be very annoying (email, facebook, twitter, youtube blocked…), I suggest a very simple but effective technique: use a little Firefox addon that will bypass the server by going through a proxy, all transparently and automatically.

This addon is FoxyProxy: install it quickly, then, tools menu > FoxyProxy > select the first one in the list. There you go, the net is no longer censored! Whether you're at work or elsewhere, in most cases it's a very good method for browsing freely.

For my part it works at work :D

Yes except that at my job I have a lot of waiting time because the computers work on their own, I just need to be nearby in case of problems...
