I work as the sales rep for my companyWe have a network that blocks many sites I need to visit so i paid for on outside isp to my officeRight now i have to unplug my company network cable and plug in the isp whenever i need to use itIs there a way to keep both cables plugged in and switch to the one i want to use when i need it?
You could use a second network cardHowever, a lot of IT people in the company may get very upset if they think you are bridging between the company internet (protected and secure and monitored) to an open networkIn theory, all your work buddies could be allowed to bridge across through your machineMany companies have a specific network use policy that forbids thisHowever, they usually allow one at a time, your choice, because that does not break their secure networkBut then, they may ask why you need to go else where on company time, any legitimate company business would be allowed through their firewallsYou final option is to make an argument as to why you need to go to those sites, and your boss may allow an exception, and they will open it for you if legitimateI had that once at work, where I had to download specific patches that were on a server that was blockedThey opened for me.
