Monitoring Internet Usage

Some of the guys that I work with have been told to lay off the internet as they are using it to much.

Is there away around being monitored?? or are we all screwed?

Do some work.

Lunch time and breaks are for internet use.

There's almost always a round these sorts of things, but without knowing how they're measuring your internet usage at the moment it's a bit hard to tell what you'd want to be hiding.

You need to know the infrastructure that is in place and what they are reporting on guys.

They can monitor network traffic. So unless you want the vm to just sit there and be all secret, and not connect to anything, then umm... won't work.
