It surprises me they don't offer VPN and NAT for external communications
*unless he truly is not productive with internet* and that they did not
lock down his ability to do such things.  If I were the network
administrator and system administrator and I made such a critical
mistake in network and system design, I wouldn't hold him responsible.
Not to say I wouldn't fire him, but I certainly wouldn't blame him for
doing something I clearly left open for him to do. Actually, it also
surprises me more that they don't already know he's doing this,
apparently people don't monitor logs and manager don't pay attention.
Sounds like some people (not him) need to be fired too.
