of course a more clueful PFY has spotted the proxy and only browses work
related materila on the companies web browser. *Real* browsing is done by
remote port forwarding over an SSH tunnel .. sometimes for fun just plug
in the spare drive and reboot into Linux and cruise the web by running
Netscape on the machine you have secretly hosted in the DMZ of your
previous employer and use SSH to tunnel your x server through the firewall
..
