If you're the one in charge of IT and you basically monitor what other people are doing, then the only thing that will get you fired is not getting your shit done. That being said, it's very difficult to get your shit done when you're focused on killing internet dragons.

Best advice is to not do it because you'll probably find yourself playing more and working less as time goes on. I've been playing from the office a bit recently and I completely stopped recently because it's a very bad habit to get into and it will creep up on you.

Sadly those fixing your AC so you can enjoy comfy office space don't get to play while we work. Yes..man up and ForumQuest!

would a VPN actually take the server load off your network though? I would assume they still can see the traffic just not where it is going?

Can still see the traffic but only pertaining to the VPN connection. So let's say here I am at the firewall looking at traffic. I see some some user with a VPN connection. What's he doing?

I walk over to John's desk here and say, hey John, can you load up SCCM and see what this guy's doing?

John loads it up, and remote views your desktop. All unbeknownst to you, we see this guy playing EQ.

Now, am I going to be just randomly looking at people's traffic and happen upon his out of thousands of users? Hell no, if it's not causing me problems on the network I have other things to do. So the likelihood is extremely slim.

But the OP needs to understand there is little to no anonymity on a LAN. bottom line

Hope this makes sense, I just poured my first cup of coffee.

This is what I have confirmed from multiple sources. In all likelihood I wouldn't get caught. The rub is how it will effect my motivation.

Right now I'm playing a monk, so random and sudden AFKs aren't a bother.

After thinking about it for a whole day, I'm going to do it just to say I did it. Kind of like that time my wife and I had sex on my bosses desk when I was working late and she was bringing me dinner.

Uh, yes it is. Do you not realize that a network admin can still see abnormal network traffic even if it's encrypted? If you're on an SSH tunnel for multiple hours a day, it's not like your network traffic is invisible. If using remote access for multiple hours a day isn't a part of your job, then this will seem odd if it's caught. Like someone else mentioned, all a network admin has to do at that point is remote access onto your computer and see what you're doing.

You better not be using the default port. Even then, if you're using some port that nobody else is using, then that would be another red flag.

Dude, if you aren't worried about banging on your boss's desk... then don't worry about playing EQ.

It sounds like you subconsciously want to get caught... maybe you should just take it to the next level and bang your wife on your boss's desk during the work day while playing EQ. Just make sure you pull out before you feign death if your boss walks in.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yea and you didn't know about the webcam your Boss setup on his desk and keeps running after he leaves for the night either...

Just do what I do... I work from home and use my own computer to play EQ and use the companies computer to connect to work using a VPN connection.
