Sonicwall is a firewall manufacturer. To “bypass” it, just configure it to pass all traffic and log nothing. Of course you’ll need to be the administrator.

HeeHee, my client has SonicWall…tough thing to bypass once configured.

Consider your internet life toast. I don’t condone bypassing your company’s firewall so therefore I wont say how to get past it. I am sorry, your company has legal reasons for what they do. Besides, if you are trying to access the SDMB it’s much easier at night. 😉
