Grats to TG for finally being filtered!

**Vinzalf** · 08-04-2006, 02:56 AM

TG Is finally filtered at my place of employment under the Websense category of "Games"

I guess I'll just have to work on it till I can easily proxy around freaking Websense.

That was not something I was happy to see coming into work today =/

My company blocked it, too. Sucks.

Of course I can still access all the tech sites the IS dept guys like to read...

**WhiskeySix** · 08-04-2006, 10:19 AM

can you get around it using http://babel.altavista.com/?

(translate from like korean to english and you get english..)

doesn't work super well, but might get you on.

If you have the time......

My company does the same thing. Apo and I have tried just about everything over the past 6-8 months to try and get around my work firewall. Nothing has worked.

Yeah, they just found the site at my work as well. Tactical Gamer is blocked.

I VNC to the home machine anytime I need to do something that's not work related. It creates a nice mental separation for me, and it keeps the work machine nice and clean.

Damn, it happened to me today also. Must have been an update day...

Apo and I tried that too. My work blocks any outgoing VPN.

**DigitalAssassin** · 08-04-2006, 09:03 PM

Well, I no longer feel special. Must have been an update that happened Wednesday or Thursday morning because I was on TG OK Tuesday, was off Wednesday, and then starting yesterday morning it was blocked.

Mine, we must have been generating some hellu traffic for Websense to pick it up.

FWIW, I said VNC, not VPN.

Isn't VNC a type of VPN?
