I doubt anyone cares, but...

So, I was sittin at work last Friday morning...perusing the forums, literally in the middle of typing up a reply to a thread. I hit submit.

"BLOCKED BY WEBSENSE. Category: Forums/BBS"

I has been filtrowned by my work firewall...no more trolling at work and I've already been going fucking nuts at work the past couple days, stooping so low as to *shudder* read news sites like ABC...I need alternative forum/reading material suggestions! :P

Use google translator as a proxy.
http://google.com/translate_t

Enter the URL and translate from english to english.

Give it a razz.

Also lots of anonymous Proxies u can use via your browser.
i lost boxofprox after some christmas hijinks.

But all worht a look.

Heh, most companies specifically block that URL or can actively decode the target URL for matching against the real block list. :P Ours can.

Ill find out tomorrow what the site is to load websites threw.

I'm fairly sure that's what mine does Don...so if google's translator has the url(Which the "Cached version" of pages does...I tried that already :P) it gets caught and blocked =\

websense blocks most web based proxys.. :/

[Stabface]

Websense won't block http over an SSH tunnel, assuming you have a box outside the network you can SSH to.

An interesting little thing I came across at my school dealing with websense is that depending on the site and how they blocked it you can just connect using the IP of the website. (example, I could go onto one of my email accounts until they blocked the domain name, then could connect with the IP. Then they got wise to me. )

This method is not guaranteed to work, it's just something I found in school.

I set the WebSense screen as my background so my boss always thinks that I am up to no good (gotta keep 'em on their toes!)

rofl Heen..and yeah I tried the google translator; I think they blocked both the site name and the word "forums" in the url as it killed off the forums parts of other sites I tried, though their main pages worked. The IP is a good idea if I can browse the whole thing that way without it resolving itself to a DNS name, though if the forums bit is true I'd still get blocked probably.
