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."
