I worked for a small legal company decades ago. I used a reverse ssh tunnel to administrate a Windows box remotely with Remote Desktop. Then I realized that I was circumventing a firewall. At a different company I had to be careful about such things. So I decided not to show this little hack to my boss. When a problem cropped up before going on commute I just logged in to the system from home and fixed the problem. Then at the box my boss asked me how long would I need to fix the problem and I said, I don't know. I rechecked my solution and after fifteen minutes I told him that all is well. This story shows that Corporate's way to restrict user power can cause real inefficiencies. And I am happy that I don't need to work for Corporate today.
