Resist and fight for freedom:
Try to find out how to get around this. Is it a business complex with other companies, are there any open wlans?
How is the blocking done technically?
You could for example set up an openvpn-server at home, install openvpn on the company machine and use one of the likely unblocked ports for the openvpn client then set the P2P device of the tun interface as your default gateway (should work, don't ask me how to do it on windows though)
Accept, welcome to the corporate world:
Since I have a policy of not working for companies that restrict network access for their employees I really don't know how to do this :P
If you're interested in economics I find
this page to be quite a timewaster, as antidan suggested wikipedia (random article) is not bad either. You could try learning programming in your free time as well, then only your imagination sets limits o what you can do [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Oh how I would love to be a freedom fighter. I have no technical expertise at all so I have no idea how the blocking is done. I work in a sattelite office of an enormous company so I would assume it is done from home office.
I never did understand those proxy websites. Let's say I want to view 2+2. If my IT department sees me using a workaround they probably assume I am doing something much worse like buying crack or looking at porn. I would go to some length to regain my computing freedom, but I don't want a reputation before I have really started.
Tied Up, hey you live in the area and they are hiring. It really is a great company to work for despite my present inactivity.
