My employer blocks adblock.
I no longer waste time.
Because i have already broken all the company security policies.
Protip: convince the IT team that Linux is essential for your development work. Small percentage of the IT team is aware about security on Linux.
It’s been ages since I did IT. If I had a user who wanted to run Linux then I knew that, on average, they were going to cause me a lot less headaches with random user issues so I wouldn’t mind being flexible. Endpoint security will be different, but a lot of network security is handled through network devices that don’t care what the client is.
My company once blocked access to its own website.
You can never be too careful.
Noticing a lot of suspicious activity coming from there…
Once, many moons ago, a group of devs at my old work got deny on internal zone-to-zone Firewall open request that they needed for integration between two internal systems, so they ended up making a script that e-mailed the info to a hotmail.com (SMTP was open) account and then wrote a script to login and screenscrape the mail info from hotmail back to the other server (https was open through surf proxy).
