So my work decided to firewall IRC, apparently the admins have some intelligence.

The last time they removed mIRC from their computer. Now I have an external I bring with me :P So, should I proxy
past the firewall or do you think they'd be pissed about that?

did they block ports or what? if blocked ports then its easy to bypass (unless they were really clever).

run irc on a remote desktop connection from a server ;P

Ya marshal, windows built in firewall. It would be easy to bypass. I'm just curious for those of you who work
in an office environment and deal with this as to what the admins might think of me bypassing their firewall. It's not
like I can't use mibbit or anything, I just like the mIRC client and its features.

that depends on your it guys.
