At one company I worked for years ago the devs ran our own VPN server at an external host to circumvent this kind of thing. I ran into one of the senior IT guys from that company later, who told me they knew about it, but made no fuss because they didn’t want too much scrutiny because they didn’t want knowledge of a porn server they ran for senior management to leak far. Seriously. I conceived a loathing then and there for the Australian business and tech world and tried to keep as far from it as I could consistent with surviving. It’s not quite as bad now from my few recent contacts with it.
