How about you skip all that nonsense, hit CTRL-SHIFT-P which puts both Mozilla and IE into private browsing? Then you can just type in www.freerepublic.com and leave no trace.

recent versions of browsers have the option to open a window or tab for private browsing. see if you can do that. This option leaves no history, cookies, etc.

So you work for un-American clients and you web surf during their time. How about either not working for them or doing some actual work?

Ha! Just messing with ya.

Been in the same situation, I used a live linux cd with a proxy server over a ssh tunnel that was used with a firewall puncher.

The only thing they could see is that it was suspicious activity and they sent me an email to make sure my computer wasn’t compromised. But I used it for weeks before that happened.

I don’t think they check their logs regularly.

Even if they check, as long as the activity isn’t currently occurring and you are already gone, likely they will never know what you did. Due to the nature of your work, maybe it isn’t even suspicous.

Oprea Browser has a surf private which keeps no session info.

Also, you can use a linux thumbdrive and use the browser through the virtual system. I always keep one of these in my briefcase.

good for low bandwidth situations and
also is good method to see if the internet can see your web site.

Be aware that you aren't effectively hiding your access to freerepublic.com, unless you are also controlling your DNS server access.

In order to find freerepublic.com, your desktop must do a lookup to get the IP address. That lookup is usually handled by a local DNS server, which only goes to the larger Internet root DNS servers if necessary.

Those lookups can be logged, including the requesting IP address.

Also, it isn't unusual for a company to install a transparent proxy server that intercepts every HTTP request that goes outside their firewall and check to see if the page is in cache. That can log everything as well.

I also have this. Relatively cheap for surfing if you don’t do a lot of multimedia. Works great too, anywhere there’s Sprint cellular service.

Sounds like a lot of hatred of people high up at ABC. I doubt the pions aren’t liberals as I am sure all people who lean right were slowly phased out. But this shows that ABC is a mess and as such it reflects in their news coverage.

Get a laptop and broadband card of your own. Their culture may be stupid, but it is their equipment and they get the last say on how it is used.
