hidemyass.com
Even though I don’t surf facebook at work, my workplace went to some great extent to paying the IT guys a large sum of money for blocking facebook. It was meh at first until my friend told me about anonymous proxy servers.
So long story short, a proxy server acts as an intermediate to connecting to other sites. Story cut even shorter, it changes your IP address, and hide your internet history; bypassing certain set restrictions.
I found this quite interesting and tested it out on my own. Since the one he gave me didn’t work, I did a little research and found one with SSL protection called “hidemyass.com”, and SUCCESS!!! It worked, well…sorta. I had to unblock cookies to which I was afraid my employers may question. But yep! It worked. I feel like I beat the system.
Me > IT guys.
