Texaschlforum.com is blocked at my place of employment. A way around this is to enter the web address using google translate. It will mask the web address. Go to google translate, enter web address, translate from english to spanish (or anything else, and view original (not translation).
It has some limitations and quirks like not being able login to post comments or view some pics or simetimes navigation is hindered but for the most part you can surf the site reasonably well.
Hang ten my friends!

Or, do your job.
You can look at the forum on your own time...

If they care enough they can figure out the traffic. I think a smart phone or tablet is the way to go unless you don't care if they suspect you may be carrying.

Employees are fired for using a proxy server or other tricks to bypass the corporate firewall. You may get away with it for a while but you should know the risks.
And no whining.

Yeah. I used to turn off my cell phone's wifi when I was at work, just because I didn't want my phone checking personal email for me on the company network.

If you want to get out to the internet disable the proxy settings in your browser. Give it a try, if it works your company may have weak security. Also be aware of the acceptable use policy at your company.
