How to bypass Internet access restrictions at work by using proxies
Many companies restrict employee access to specific websites on their network. Typically,
office employees are restricted from accessing social networks, but more significant
limitations may exist. In this article, we will explain how to bypass these restrictions and
how proxies can be of assistance.
Why would you need to bypass restrictions?
We don't encourage you to divert your attention from work responsibilities to spend the
entire day on social media. It's crucial to use proxies appropriately and ethically to
avoid any potential negative consequences.
However, there are instances where corporate network limitations seem illogical. For
instance, a graphic designer may require access to a foreign image library that is
restricted, or a journalist may need material from a foreign website for an article, or
a HR specialist may need to find out information about a job candidate from his or
her Facebook profile.
How can proxies help to bypass corporate network
restrictions?
To access websites blocked by the corporate network, you may need private proxies
from a reliable provider. For instance, Proxytunnel offers cost-effective private proxies
with a high level of security and anonymity.
After purchasing the proxy, you can set it in Windows or a browser extension.
How to set up a proxy through Windows:
1. Press the Windows+S key combination to open the search bar, type the command
"Run", and press "Enter".
2. Once the "Run" window appears, enter "inetcpl.cpl" in the command box, then click
"OK".
3. Navigate to the Connections tab and click the "Network Setup" button.
4. Fill in the proxy's address and port, click "Advanced", and check the box to use one
proxy for all protocols. Save your changes.
How to set up a proxy through browser extension:
1. Navigate to the official site with extensions.
2. Open "Search", write "Proxy" there, choose an extension with a high rating and a
large number of downloads.
3. Click the "Add" button to install the extension in your browser.
4. Enter the proxy data in the extension's settings.

Access to websites needed for work may be restricted by rules on the corporate
network that do not stipulate that employees may use these or those resources.
