    simona you can bypass blocking. run command prompt type in ping then a space then type the full web adress hit enter. it should give you an ip. something like #'s followed by . and : copy this full number then paste into your adress bar in your isp

    Keep in mind that everyone is giving you potential things to bypass a certain type of block however all of your browsing activity will be logged by your company. You can't really get around that. If you use a proxy, the proxy will be logged and that in itself is probably enough to make them suspicious. Just make sure if you do try and go around it, they will still know you are doing something and it is quite easy to figure out if they want to research what sites you are doing. Anyways, in this environment, it probably isn't the best idea to give an employer a reason to terminate your employment. My 2 cents.

    .....
    Same answer regarding the IP address.... if they seee 192.10.5.5 and they see 1,000 entries they will wonder what that IP address/website is.

    Most people need the internet to do their job now a days, and they are not trying to catch everybody that visits a website that's not work related.
    I'm sure for a company to "start monitoring the internet" means that they are looking for someone that's abusing the internet. facebook, downloading movies, streaming video/radio - playing games etc.

    They will be looking at the top 10-15 websites that are visited for example and go from there.

    Seoid - Unless you have 10 other people all using MFP, you should be ok - Still not sure, be honest with your boss and ask them if it's ok to visit websites.

    Is it ok to check my lottery numbers?
    how about to see the weather/news/headlines/traffic reports?

    Just to let you know, the incognito features of chrome, safari, firefox or any other browsers have nothing to do with your work tracking you. If your work policy is to not use these sites, and they are tracking your usage, they will have a full record of all your visits to these sites regardless of what you do in your browser. My suggestion to you is to follow your work policy or risk losing your job.

    Please don't shoot the messenger, it is only that I work in the IT industry so I know what your company can do.

    If you want to know the technical aspects of this, feel free to private message me.
    I agree...keep your job and don't mess around on here if your not supposed to. Are you allowed to play online during lunch and breaks?

    When I know I can't get to the computer I plan my whole day out in the morning and stick to that plan. I pack snacks and a lunch and if I know I'm going out for lunch but don't know what I'm going to get I leave myslef a little calorie room and make sure to choose healthy. It seems to work for me!

    Guy I knew had a work-around,,, had a back door. Surfed all day, porn, lotto, political stuff. He don't work here no more...

    Not worth it, comply with policy.

    they are tracking everyone's usage because they want you to do work. so why don't you do your job and follow policy.

    it frustrates me to think that people think that they are entitled to doing personal things on work time. you aren't being paid to track your nutrition diary, do it on your PERSONAL time.

    whatever ~ it's not like I'm not doing work (or sitting on here all day).....I need it to help track my calories too.

    right, but with certain positions there is a level of quality that is removed by surfing the net. track your calories on paper and add them at the end of the day. i don't even see the issue with doing that.
