While people often enjoy learning about these hacky techniques, its worth noting that the situation OP described goes against some good security principles. There's a reason why company networks are _officially_ only accessible via a VPN - it makes it possible for network/itsec people to properly monitor who accesses the infrastructure and how. This is very important if you want to keep your company data safe and secure.

I know the author just wanted to show some easy ways to setup HTTP proxies, but I'd hate it if people thought its okay to do this in every IT environment. Talking about security is easy. But when it comes to actually following some sane standards like this...a lot of people seem to just ignore them for the sake of convenience. IMHO this seems to be status quo these days.
