I'm forced to use Windows 7 at work. I run Linux in virtualbox to get round this limitation. It keeps corporate IT departments happy because they can enforce patching policies and audit software.
- joezydeco 9y agoSame here. Our network is heavy on MS Active Directory authorization, so really the only way to run Linux at all is to host it on a Windows/Virtualbox VM.
- rkeene2 9y agoThat sounds terrible.
- joezydeco 9y agoI consider it a fun challenge to work around the obstacles that are in place. I also use a private tunnel to get around all the web filters and etc.
- zeusk 9y ago> I also use a private tunnel to get around all the web filters and etc. Why would you do that?
- bunderbunder 9y agoLast time I ran into problems with web filters at work, it was because they had blocked a lot of security-related things on the grounds that they could potentially be useful to hackers. For example, the websites for most popular fuzzers were blocked.
- joezydeco 9y agoA specific case I recall was being able to access Sourceforge.
- kristianp 9y agoYou're forced to use windows, but your work requires that you do work on Linux? Seems counterproductive, can you provide more details?
