Is anybody else blocked from OS from work?

So the admin nazi's at work just blocked all game sites from our work computers. Does anybody else have this problem. I'm so addicted to this site that I looked around for a web proxy and used the following one:

http://www.safeforwork.net/

However, after thinking about it I'm starting to get scared that they'll find this also and I'll get in trouble. I mean I usually only check at lunch which is considered my time but anyways can any of you techies let me know if its stupid to use a proxy while at work...

That would just plain suck if that happened at my work. I would just roll with it though, no way would I circumvent the policy. OS would just have to wait till I got home.

OperationSports.com is blocked at my work. But I can access forums.operationsports.com.

Proxy's are put into place for a reason. And just because the admins blocked something, doesn't make them Nazis.

I certainly don't know your exact situation - but I was doing an internship at a school and had to set up a proxy and all that sort of stuff.

Instead of trying to get around it, why don't you just follow the rules and browse the forums at home? The proxy is there for a reason, and it's really annoying when users think they have the right to just try to get around the security put in place.

I use a website to get around the blocked websites in my office. I'll post it once I get to work.
