On the network like that, that we monitor, we catch the people that do such
tunnelling, and they are diciplined for breaching policy.

The rest of them surf around comfortably without risk of going offside of
the policy, as technology helps enforce it.

Those that repeatedly try to get around it, show up in the logs as such
(repeated denies), and get special "attention". Even your two minute
attempt would garner you some special attention, now for deliberately
attempting to get around the policies.
