feh - that is a lame excuse. If the firewall is preventing people
doing their work then the firewall policy needs to be changed and
there should be processes that allow that to happen. The problem is
more the people who want to mess around using their employer's
resources but do not want to get caught.

Sad but true - mind you, you may not need a technical solution only a
policy that HR will enforce, booting people out that compromise the
network security does focus people a bit.
