Is there a way around this for office networks that block certain sites.

I was thinking web sites that act as a "portal" to access other sites through it. Anyone know of such a thing?

I dont' know if there are such things, but I'd suggest you find out what your company's policy is regarding intentionally circumventing their restrictions: is the risk of getting caught worth the reward?

Also keep in mind, (I run the System IT department at my work)

If they have taken the time to add ip restriction to the router then they have also taken the time to install a program to track what pages are being requested.

If you bypass the system, chances are you will be caught. My boss wanted me to install all of that crap on the work systems. I talked him out of it for now.

I like my Internet freedom, and so does many others.

It's for a friend. ;)
I was thinking there might be a site where you could look at other pages "through" the site and it would only show up on IT tracking software as having been to the "portal" site.

Nothing like that exists?

What it you view it through a frame page or an iFrame? Probably not quite the same.

A frame or iframe will still require the local browser to access that page. You would need a page that called the desired page from the server then output the result to the client, such as using the 'include' command in a PHP script.

What about this? Using one of those programs that allows remote access to a work computer. Through that program you can access the internet through the remote terminal's net access... so the computer you're on doesn't actually have any record of what website's you're accessing through the remote terminal, right?

Is there something like that where you are basically going through another server to access pages, but on your computer you're only shown as accessing this one site?

Google for open proxy, any of your results will be helpful, unless that's already been covered. But really, why on earth do you want to do this? Can't you just wait until you get home?
