I had a friend working with me, the day he resigned, he gave me a cd, with a program to edit the server, and open the firewall. I never use it, but was surprise to find there was such software.

OP,

please provide contact details for IT dept.

I could then advise them how to lock down each PC to the company site, and also lock down USB ports and DVD drive.

Then you're welcome to try tunnel firewall after that.

Easy enough. DNS or ICMP tunnel / VPN for that matter... If they're allowing DNS out then chances are you've got a way out already. That being said - don't do it. The admins are smarter than you and it's not worth the trouble. If you don't like it leave, but while you're there abide by the policies set.

not worth it as traffic is normally monitored on such servers/networks, but there are ways to bring everything to a complete lock down.
It can be so bad that though usb mouse/keyboard work it won't ever charge other devices, nevermind allow access.

We have to do it because they FSCKING block apt-get and sometimes github

One way - sue your build user for authentication. They sometimes have more access.

The best way - buy yourself a data bundle and go via your cellphone's WIFI.

Most of the time, just add https :F

Also, I'm pretty much 99% sure I know where you work ;) (If you're in IT :D)

If what OP is requesting is against the company's IS / computer usage / IT policy then he is in for a world of hurt.

I worked for a company where someone, in IT, thought they had the right to circumvent these controls. The person was disciplined quicker than what you can minimise the browser window.

The old https trick hardly works on config nowadays. If they implemented something like websense, then there's little luck of getting through.

+1.
Lockdown all end points. Policies should restrict installation and configuration changes and external media (USB, cd/dvd, Bluetooth) should be restricted. Do a blanket statement like this on all endpoints and work with the exceptions afterwards. You'll find a lot of disgruntled employees that were violating policies and putting the company at risk.

If your company deals with client data and you are not on track to implement such controls (as example), you and the company are going to be in a rough spot when that client data is leaked.

I know there are a lot of companies out there that haven't considered POPI requirements and compliance at all.

+1 on the TOR idea. Even if its a bit slow.
I used it for a bit, but was asked nicely to stop when they noticed it on the logs.

Why would you want to do that? Do you work for that same company?
