So, i'm trying to watch the Linus videos at work, but they are all blocked by Mcafee Web Gateway 7, I can watch the videos that have been posted on the forums but i cant get onto youtube.

 

is there any way (That wont get me Fired) that i can bypass the web gateway and watch the videos?

Not to sound rude, but you're at work. You get paid to work, not for YouTube.

 

Some companies block websites like Youtube for a reason. You by passing that in any way could get you fired.

For instance in the company I work at you must read and accept a computer usage contract. Go against that and you forfeit your right to use the computer. Using the computer is a must, so no computer = no job.

It's not a race to the bottom.

No, there isn't.

If your company doesn't want you to go there (for obvious reasons), no matter what you try to do to access Youtube, can and most likely will, get you fired if you're caught.

You're getting paid to work, not watch youtube videos. If it's on your break, just watch it on your phone.

No offense dude, but if your office has blocked YouTube, do you think there's ANY means of watching YouTube at work that doesn't involve someone going 'WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?  WE HAVE POLICIES ABOUT THIS.  IN MY OFFICE, NOW.' if you get caught?  Think about this for a second and then weigh the value of watching YouTube at work vs the value of employment.
