Who knows? You might try to
- switch off the proxy totally
- replace the automatic proxy settings by manual settings
Depending on the configuration of the firewall you might be able to get

have to face the consequences, if you try to access them anyway.
Besides that attempts to bypass the firewall might result in the loss
of your job.
