Well, if they start firing because of this I think they will start with those who are really bandwidth consuming, like those who check Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook (videos) etc (also through a web proxy, cause all blocked) than with me who just visit some forums and blogs without a lot of media... and until now I haven't heard of anybody getting fired because they use web proxies and as I said some of them are really using a lot of bandwidth (all day video streaming).
I think that for now I am not in danger, but I would like to continue checking the forum from web proxies without being blocked... and be blocked only for sign in or sign up when connecting with a spammers ip.

However, the reasoning for those measures are security, not bandwith (at least where I have been)

And also I don't think that they will fire anyone without at least getting a warning first, so until someone gets a warning it is "kind of" safe...

The point is, if your IT catches only those then they are not doing a very good job.
Having said all that, firing works both ways. A company imposing such draconian environment does not deserve me as an employee.

Anyways, off topic LOL.
OT: please, do enable using tor. I think blocking tor is bad practise, and laziness from finding other solutions.

It's not the fact that I'm bypassing security rules... those rules weren't implemented for security, rather so that we work and not waist time on the Internet and also for bandwidth saving (as the connection costs them per MB/s used) ... if the IT department would really want they would have forbidden any access to proxies.
And it's not like if I want to steal some confidential data I will upload it to youtube, vimeo, etc (as the most blocked sites are streaming ones). So security doesn't have anything to do with it.
Sorry for the offtopic... now I think that the restriction should be in registering of signing in from bad ips but not consulting the forum.
Ive been a few places like that.
