Aaaarghh....after years of sneaky surfing on mk5golfgti.co.uk my company sees it as a security threat ("threat type: othermalware")!

Going to have to do some work now!

There are a few sites that will let you use them as a proxy to get around web filtering.

So you would enter the url into the proxy site instead of straight into the address bar / Google.

Here is one example... give it a go next time youre at work!
