Eight Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Just wondering if anything changed overnight here. Come into work this morning to find BC is now blocked by our proxy server. Chances are they've updated something here to do it, but I'm clinging at straws hoping it's because of a change to the site that can be put back. Going to be a long day. As you may have noticed, I have my way around it but its not a friendly browsing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Depending on how amenable your sysadmin is you might be able to bribe him to take BC off the blocked websites list? I *believe* NiceGuyHomer has a funny story to this effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Too big a company to even find the guy responsible let alone bribe him. God I hate having sold my soul to corporate america sometimes. Looks like its not related to the BC server/site at all; heard a few other people complaining about blocked sites this morning. They've also done a cracking job of blocking access to web proxy sites like hidemyass.com. Someone is getting paid too much to ensure the rest of us can't have five minutes of fun during the working day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I get away with it here. In fact thinking about it for such a large organisation hardly anything is blocked, only objectionable material really. I usually come on here using the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/lofiversion/index.php/"]lofi version[/url] which looks less conspicuous. Even if it does get blocked i'm a domain admin and will sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer61 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I am the IT guy (inaddition to HR, Finance, Janitor etc), so if I can't get access I only have myself to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Still weighing up whether to take measures to by pass their restrictions. Its one thing looking at a site like this at work, its another thing to circumvent IT procedures in order to do so. Might get a netbook and bring that in instead. That way noone gets hurt.
