People who play at work

How do you do it if you play on your work computers and on your work network?

Do your employers just not monitor and/or don't give a shit?

Or do you have some way to mask the activity?

My employer blocks all ports not strictly necessary for work. Furthermore all network activity is logged and monitored. I submitted a request for a Verizon Jetpack hotspot and a laptop purchased and delivered to me directly thus bypassing corporate inventory controls and also bloatware and monitoring software install. The reason was that "I need to mimic the customer experience using consumer-grade network access and hardware in order to be able to replicate any reported trouble conditions, without those tests being affected by any corporate network or hardware restrictions."

My employer only cares about quality work on time and I've proved I can deliver that, so when I say I need something they don't ask questions as long as the reason is coherent.
