Just enjoy your increased productivity and a clear conscience of having worked a full day without wasting time on the net!

Seriously, doesnt sound like you will have a workaround.

It really depends on how they are blocking access to the internet. There may be ways around it, but, as dicussed in a similar thread recently, it's not a wise idea to try and circumvent this as you could well be fired for doing so.

I'd look at getting internet access at home if you really *need* to use the internet. A "lite" adsl package is probably fairly cheap these days.

I'd be more concerned about the fact that you could be in serious **** for abusing the IT policies, if caught accessing internet without permission.

In some places it's a minimum of disciplinary.... or worse......
