Bypassing blocking of websites...
So my workplace uses websense to block certain websites. I read while researching
firesheep, that you can somehow bypass that by creating a proxy, and thus:
#1 protect yourself from people using firesheep (if using unsecure hot-spot)
and
#2 or visit un-approved websites at work.
I haven't been able to create a proxy from their directions...
Is this possible?

"You're at an open wireless hotspot, but you don't want to send your web browsing data over it in plain text. Or you want to visit a non-work-approved web page from the office computer without the IT team finding out."

lwp::protocol::socks
LWP::Protocol::socks(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation LWP::Protocol::socks(3pm)
NAME
LWP::Protocol::socks - adds support for the socks protocol and proxy facility
SYNOPSIS
use LWP::Protocol::socks;
DESCRIPTION
Use this package when you wish to use a socks proxy for your connections.
It provides some essential hooks into the LWP system to implement a socks "scheme" similar to http for describing your socks connection,
and can be used to proxy either http or https connections.
The use case is to use LWP::UserAgent's proxy method to register your socks proxy like so:
$ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
Then just use your $ua object as usual!
EXAMPLES
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(agent => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5');
# for socks5, use socks like so:
$ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
# for socks4, use socks4 like so:
$ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks4://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
my $response = $ua->get("http://www.freebsd.org");
print $response->code,' ', $response->message,"
";
my $response = $ua->get("https://www.microsoft.com");
print $response->code,' ', $response->message,"
";
