My friend works for the forrin office
he spotted that his work laptop didn't block memebase so he mentioned it to IT and he spent an hour long conference call yesterday looking up porn online while people checked to see what the problem with the connection was.
Tax payer money.

Not that any of you care.

Your friend sounds like a twat
Why would he report that he could get to a website?

Because he deals with sensitive classified and top secret documents, if there's something wrong with the firewall it's a bit of a problem.

Thats not a firewall problem
Its a proxy server problem

All websites would be available via port 80 or 443 which would be open to all users
The proxy server would then lock down the necessary sites.

Also, public sector usually keep logs of Internet access
he might be getting an unpleasant interview soon.

He was told to do it. He was on the conference call with IT and they were wondering why they couldn't see any of that in the logs

(PsychoChomp, Thu 21 Mar 2013, 14:51, Reply)

That would make for an uncomfortable call
When he reels off 100 porn sites

Nice way to spend an hour at work if you can get it
sounds like the web filtering software they're using is duff.
