Well, just to clarify, I run a couple of small networks.
Our traffic is measured and paid for accordingly, staff listening to
internet radio is a waste of money.
I actually do not enforce many blocked ports, and prefer to manage traffic
by educating staff about security, and about resposible use of resources.
I work for a non-profit org, we are always trying to save money.
anyway, from an IT point of view I 'd prefer users to not try to find way to
get round security.
It's just plain rude.
