NO MORE S2forum!!! (at work) - Websense nonsense

[Colesy]

Went into work today clicked the link to s2forum and was greeted by a Websense page telling me that s2forum was now blocked.

So I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way for me to get around it?

I was thinking that some sort of mirror of s2forum which was maybe didn't have forum in the name would do the job? I've got a few domains that are sitting around doing nothing is there an easy way to set this up? Or does anyone else have a better idea?

Thanks

somethimes if you go thru google you can get past it, ( was some time ago i did it, dont know if it is like this now)

[Colesy]

Just realised aswell that you can go through s2central and click the s2forum link, so I'll have to try that tomorrow! Fingers crossed.

It's a bit involved but I use remote desktop. You might not be able to get past that either if your techies are a bit **** about things.

Try this too: http://s2forum.com/forum/

Or a proxy website

[quattrojan]

or www.logmein.com

Proxy or remote access (to your home machine then piggy back on its connection to get to the forum)...
Or if you are really clever - SSH port tunneling - that is awesome, but good IT nerds can spot it and block it with stateful firewall filters and such.

Thanks, a few ideas I will have to test tomorrow.

BTW you inbox is full Paul.

Yeah or if you can setup a VPN through your home router and do it that way, proxy, or even DNS tunnelling but that will be slow.

websense is a tuff one. its an external service in general and so you daisy chain all internet activity through it.

we use it for mail filtering but not web based activity. tried and tested ISA and trend interscan for that.

your gonna need firewall access i think and a rule which will more than likely stick out like a sore thumb.

is access worth your job?
