Does the IT department at your office own you?
If you work in an office with a designated IT department, your internet browsing is probably being dictated by the nerdy fellas huddled in the dark room at the end of the hall. Sometimes websites that are designated NSFW are inaccessible making your shift seem longer then it really is. Here’s a method to get you through your day.
First things first. If your office is like mine, you’re probably stuck using Internet Explorer. The remedy? Find an old USB pen drive from a friend or buy one cheap. Next, load the portable version of Firefox from here. The final step… install the VirtualBrowser Firefox extension on to your portable USB Firefox pen drive.
Next time you login on to your computer, plug your little USB drive into your computer and start browsing. Viola! You now have access to a free online proxy.
VirtualBrowser’s server requests the file from an external web server, so your browser never communicates with the server, and thus never transmits any information about yourself.
Just don’t get caught looking at PORN.
This should also work for students on school networks. Browsing via the proxy may ‘break’ the appearance of some sites. Hey you have to make some sacrifices.
