Ask Slashdot: Giving Users Extra-Firewall Access For Sites Normally Blocked?
An anonymous reader writes: My boss and I were having a discussion about our users accessing the internet. He wants the users to be able to log in to the firewall to be able to access external websites that they are normally blocked from accessing. They would get a 45-minute window to do this, and then if they need more time, they need to re-login. (SonicWall does this). I told him that this type of procedure scares the crap out of me, as some users will just keep logging in and doing what we are trying to block them from doing, and they will also be able to access infected websites as well. I think it is in our (the IT staff's) best interest if we continue to allow access to users on a case-by-case basis -- and then turn it off when they have completed their task. I am just curious as to where others stand on this topic. If you are your workplace's BOFH, how much slack do you cut? If you're an employee with unreasonable restrictions, do you bother to get around them?Read more of this story at Slashdot.
