New Firewall at work is now blocking HBT

[dunnright00]

Sucks!

Looks like I'll actually have to start working. Right before it's about to get real boring around here too.

Search Google for "proxy" until you find one that your firewall isn't blocking.

or use circumventor lists... it is what all the high schoolers do at school. so they tell me. google search it. You can get on mailing lists for daily updates I think.

unless some tech guy here explains why IT teams know about these.

 

[dunnright00]

I'm pretty sure they block proxy sites too.

It sucks. They were using Websense for a while, now they have some new filter and it blocks EVERYTHING!! Even Google Image search!

Uhm, what is that?

 

[dunnright00]

Uhm, Yeah! That's a nice computer forum...

Paid members get a few more privileges. I'm not asking you to buy a membership, but there are some additional options for site supporters. Sorry, there isn't much HBT can do to unblock itself from the network where you work.

 

[dunnright00]

Uhm, thanks? I wasn't asking for help to circumvent my network, just venting on my situation...

a new job, no?

Try downloading AOL. I don't mean just the browser but the actualy AOL client, I know it sucks but its better then nothing. You can sign up for a free account and log in through your current connection. This will sometimes completely bypass any and all blocking and tracking that a company might use.


If my boss asks though, I did not tell you this.

 

[RiverSwillBeer]

what about signing up for a free logmein account .... include your computer at home in the account....leave it on and access it while at work.

 

[mordantly]

thats a lot of work to get out of work, don't you think?

Uhm, what is that?

That... is Brad Pitt.

 

[dunnright00]

a new job, no?

No. Old job, New internet filter/firewall.

No worries, I should be doing this at home anyhow, Just venting. They started blocking a LOT of sites.

Thanks for the tips though!

 

[dunnright00]

That... is Brad Pitt.

I realize that, I haven't seen the movie so forgive me if I missed the reference.

Wasn't sure if that was some code for some secret club.

Hmm... don't talk about it? I get it....

A place where I used to work tried a new firewall to block access to websites. Ended up blocking our company website. I couldn't even access half of the info I needed to do my job.

I worked in customer service, part of my job was to help our customers navigate thru our website. Took me 3 days to convince them I needed this.
