As recently as 2015 I was working at a customer site where the web proxies were so misconfigured that Google was effectively blocked. The main page would load about a third of the time after maybe ten or twenty seconds. This was a huge org with 15K users, including dozens of developers and hundreds of general IT staff.
Turns out that a one-checkbox-tick fix was all it took to make that go away. The woman in charge of the web proxies panicked, thinking that this change had "broken something", reverted the change, and then refused to change it back.

Fun times.
