Anyone familiar with how Opera's "Turbo Mode" works?
I thought it encrypted everything between Opera's servers and my browser, so I've been using it as a proxy to browse websites at work without being tracked. In the past few days, however, the network administration where I work seems to have found a way to block most sites from being accessible through Turbo Mode. They use Fortinet to block some websites on a standard browser; I have to wonder if that is being used here.
Most of the websites are still accessible through a normal browser, and the websites don't seem to be specific to my browsing habits. I tried a number of common websites (including ones I have never used before) in Opera and in Firefox, and all except 4chan worked in Firefox and didn't work in Opera (4chan showed a "Blocked" page by Fortinet). Any idea how they are managing to block only Opera turbo traffic to websites?
Also, are there any workarounds? Any other ways to browse privately while at work? I'm guessing Fortinet will already have blocked most VPN server IPs.

How about you actually do work.

I do my work. But I also have lunch at my desk some days and want to browse the web.

Use your phone

it blocks ads, and compresses data
if you're on your home wifi its going to be slower cause they have to route it through their own DNS servers
also the official full version of Opera now has it and a lot of other features making Mini pointless, including Mini Beta

Thinking about doing this and just tethering. A 5GB cap should be alright for just the few minutes of browsing I want to do each day. Just kind of worried that I might go over when I travel and have to use 2G or Edge or whatever.

I'm using the desktop version. I actually tried the new "VPN" option in Opera, but that didn't work at all. I'm sure Fortiguard has blocked the IPs of the VPN servers.

Try proxies?

The difficulty would be in finding one not blocked by Fortiguard.
