Theoretically, how much is the salary?

At age 38, with 5 kids, I find that my pragmatism has slowly eroded my 
ideals.

For myself, I would make my decision based on how they are upholding 
this policy.  If they are simply blocking traffic through a proxy 
server, it would seem to me that this was an attempt to keep the 
shenanigans to a minimum and would not bother me all that much.  If they 
were monitoring my workstation with a keylogger to ensure compliance, 
the salary would have to be pretty good for me to put up with this type 
of draconian behavior.
