Hello to all.
I live in south America. I spend 12hours a day working for a corporation related to oil extraction, mostly my work is attending failures in S.C.A.D.A. system and also designing new screens needed according to field needs.
Sometimes I need to research information to accomplish certain task, like for example configuring new devices (PLC), or learning how to do something in Java (that's the programming language used to program the HMI of the software I use), well the IT department here is big, it is a nation wide corporation and they don't seem to care of what people need, even if that affects how the work is done.
The thing is this http proxy I have tried to bypass it but each time it seems more and more restrictive, I work under Debian Linux Distribution (Version 6.04 Squeeze).
As you can imagine, every website, service, program related in any way or that evens mentions the word proxy it is blocked (tor, hola.org, cocoon, online proxys of any kind), actually I believe all ports are closed when trying to connect to an external address with the exception of course of 80 port that is used by the http proxy.
The proxy used is squid.
I can try all recommendations given here but of course this website it is also blocked so I could tell you how it went the day after.
Is there a way to encrypt all traffic via port 80 somehow? making it impossible for the proxy detection mechanism to know what website is being visited.
I've tried making a SSH tunnel, but I cannot even ping external IP.
I'm asking more for guidance on how to accomplish this, I like to read and learn new things everyday, I know my way in Linux but I'm not by any means an expert. I see this more like a challenge.
Thanks for reading and thanks again for any help in advanced.
