web filter

The local authority that I am currently on placement with use Websense to
stop me looking at gmail, google groups etc. Fair enough, I can understand
an anti-slacking policy.

However, in it's wisdom the filter has decided to block anything from
direct.gov.uk which is really handy when you want to look up qualifying
criteria for attendance allowance.

 

*Nice*. Actually, while trying to SORN the BMW earlier this evening, my
Avira webfilter blocked access to the main direct.gov.uk site because
it was supposedly under suspicion of spreading malware or something.

 

this was for streaming video or somesuch

 

Can't you TOR to it or use an SSL proxy

 

why?

I "work" for a dept. that has a .gov.uk domain. Why would another .gov.uk
domain be blocked, especially the main tool for dissemination of government
information.

 

Because I r00ted it and used it for eel porn.

 

ask your IT team to unblock it.

I went into the office today and the system wouldn't let me log on at all.
I think I have upset them.

 

It's nature's way of telling you "You're fired!"

 

He wouldn't have got in the office at all if he was fired, he's just
been demoted to tea boy.

 

I found our web filter blocked a lot of sites with 'knife' in the
content - which is handy when you're looking for info. on safe working
practices and PPE for butchers.
