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?
