True. Although they will probably just fall back to the company browser at that point.

hhhhhh, but still there is a way to access facebook even with all of these precaution and setting, online proxy browser, this way you cannot do anything

Correct, short of whitelisting there is absolutely nothing that you can do. Which is why, at the end of the day, it's generally best to not block and let HR retain people who work well and fire those who do not. Really, at the end of the day, people will just do it from their phones if you block it. Making them even less productive.
-
yes but you don't have the choice, the administration think that blocking those website they will improve productivity, and i have to make what they ask me to do, the problem here my situation will be very embarassing if the manager know that someone still have the ability to access facebook or youtube, and the worst the manager don't understand that you cannot block all online proxies, he will think that you are not sharp enough to do the job

Present the impossibility and all of the effort that will go into attempting to work around it OR just don't worry about it because the business isn't being rational.
-
because we don't have an IT manager, so you will find difficult time trying to explain to someone (owner) who don't understand what you are talking about, he know only one thing which is doing what i want: how to do that, it is your problem
-
Figuring out how to present to management is key. Put things into business terms and present the costs and trade offs and rational arguments. Don't talk tech, talk business.

yes you are right,
