[SOLVED] Company peoples are tracking download usage, how can we bypass it

In my company whenever I download any big file.
An administrator came and warn me don’t download/upload something from here.

Is there any way to bypass this.

Thanks

The administrator has to install specialized software or set up some tracking scripts to do that. Otherwise no administrator can say how long was your “screen time” just by using standard Windows tools.

  • Some companies allow for ‘Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policies. This is a good solution to counter monitoring software that may be implanted on a company’s device. If bringing your own computer to the workplace seems a bit drastic, even bringing your own tablet is handy for checking a quick personal email or stealthy surfing.

  • Got a smartphone? Or a mobile broadband? Great. These can be alternatives to using your company’s Wifi. Use a wireless tethering device and your cellular data if lack trust of your company’s network.

  • Be smart about your online habits when you are at work. If privacy is your concern, it is best to just keep your work and personal life separate if you’re concerned about your privacy.

Also, if you thinking of the TOR browser? :thinking:

Generally speaking No . Assuming:

  1. You follow Tor’s best practices

Tor does not protect all of your computer’s Internet traffic when you run it. Tor only protects your applications that are properly configured to send their Internet traffic through Tor. To avoid problems with Tor configuration, we strongly recommend you use the Tor Browser.
so if it’s not setup correctly things can still leak like DNS requests for example.

  1. You are using a private computer (or at least one the company doesn’t control). If they are admins on your computer they could install VNC or some logging software that will record your actions regardless of what software you use.
