Websense: p***ing me off

ivzk · Oct 27, 2004, 06:53 PM

I have some software called Websense that it slowly buy surely blocking me out of any and all sites of interest on the internet at work. Anyone know how to get around this stupid program. What a piss off.

Please help.
Thanx

are you on a network?

ivzk · Oct 27, 2004, 07:29 PM

Yeah, I'm on a network. Windows NT. The thing is I don't think websense is set up on our server, as we share the connection with the company that owns our shop. I think they're the ones controlling websense.

Websense is terrible, it was at another job I had. If it's just one page you need to get to you can use google's cache to view it. If you're looking to do more up to the minute web surfing, then you may be able to get around it with a proxy.

I just found websites that weren't blocked by it and started going to them.
