well it sounds shit

 

[pete]

well it sounds shit

ah no - it does the job.

 

[HMD]

thing is, any decent web filtering software will block proxy servers too

do you get a free domain every year?

 

[Lord Damian]

that's terrible, do you get warnings or reasons or is it just a case of websense catching up with pete?

well it's my own fault, i reckon it's because the IT dept here logs how much time i spend on a site and act accordingly...this is the message i get from thumped.com for example

Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.

Reason:
The Websense category "Blocked" is filtered.
URL:
http://www.thumped.com/


"Blocked" to me means it's not been categorized by Websense.

got any more mirror sites kicking around Pete? at my rate i'll need about 5 a year.

"Blocked" means someone has manually added it to the "Blocked" category.

yeah i register new domains every now and then...

 

[pete]

no i just get them cheap

Can you access a HTTPS proxy through websense?

I've never experienced such things as internets blocking though. The last place I was in they just made me face the wall so everyone could see what I was doing. Pricks.

 

[pete]

Websense looks at the URL and checks if that's blacklisted, rather than look at what you're doing. I don't think it cares if it's an HTTP or HTTPS connection (although it might do if it's manually added to the Block list - must check.)

 

[Diddles]

If you were running your own server like xamp could you get round it?

The IT people might give out if you had no reason for doing that though.

 

[Lord Damian]

"Blocked" means someone has manually added it to the "Blocked" category.

that's what i figured.

yeah i register new domains every now and then...

i was only joking, but as long as you got em...maybe you could do the occasional mailout letting members know of alternate url's should they get blocked.

or maybe i should actually do some fucking work.

members? you mean subscribers?

maybe i should install a subscribers only CGI proxy on the server too ha

 

[Lord Damian]

yeah, i meant subscribers.

as for that other bit, i have no clue what yr talking about. i'm ok with that.

A special case of web proxies are "CGI proxies". These are web sites that allow a user to access a site through them. They generally use PHP or CGI to implement the proxying functionality. CGI proxies are frequently used to gain access to web sites blocked by corporate or school proxies. Since they also hide the user's own IP address from the web sites they access through the proxy, they are sometimes also used to gain a degree of anonymity, called "Proxy Avoidance".

 

[Lord Damian]

like the one from Joss's post above? i tried that and got blocked due to "Proxy Avoidance".

you can't block what you don't know about... there'd only be a handful of potential users, like.

so there'd be no way for the Websense folks to find it? devious.
