Mr Shannon

Does anyone know of a way of getting onto banned/firewalled site's whilst your in work??

I've tried those anonimysers (sp) but there blocked aswell

dont try too hard, everyone one of those attempts you have made have been logged against your account so they know you have been doing it.

if they REALLY dont want you to get on certain sites and you get round that and get caught then dont be surprised to get sacked for it.

Mr Shannon

It cant be logged against my acount if I'm using someone else's.

Cheers for pointing out the obvious though.

They will also know what machine it was accessed from of course, so if its known in your workplace that you use that computer, they will also know that you are using someone elses account too, as well as what you are doing with it.

Agree with Chip as its what I do also for a job!

Except I am after porn surfers not occasional car forum browsers.

Bribe IT is the only way.

Mr Shannon

Once again thanks for pointing out the obvious.

I wont be getting sacked anytime soon so its fine, anybody any ideas then?

Well if you are allowed to do it and wont be getting sacked for it, then just ask the IT lads to give you access to the sites you want to use.

Mr Shannon

Hmm I could always threaten to not give him a lift home tonight

I dont get it though, everyother forum I go on is fine but one particular one I cant get on

It may be that there is a keyword on that particular site that isnt liked, or part of the URL, what site is it?

Mr Shannon

Forbidden, this page (http://www.bttos.com/) is categorized as: Chat.

Thats the url and the message I get when trying to get on it.

Think the keyword could be bttos

Well, there is your answer then.

Only way you will get round that really is to find a proxy that isnt blocked.

Well you didnt state, excluding the obvious! IT take bribes so I suggested it

use proxybuster.com or .org etc, usually works

Set up your home-machine with a VNC server, then remote-connect to your home-machine and browse to whatever sites you want to!

Assuming your work allow outbound VNC-connections, that is...

do u work for barclays?


have u tried changing the dns name to an ip tht normally works

if not try putting changing the url to hex


either of those shud work.

Website-classification would normally point towards an enforced proxy-based N2H2 system, which classifies a website by its content (chat, entertainment, webmail, news, and so on). If this is the case, it won't matter HOW he accesses the site from his machine (actual web-address, IP address, hex, Martian, etc), it'll still broadcast the classification for the website and his proxy-server will reject the viewing of it...
