Proxy sites?
 

In all those articles about kids on myspace and such, I remember reading that schools have a heck of a time keeping the kids off myspace, because they'll set up proxy sites through which they go wherever they want.

Seeing as I and the only other MCer at my company haven't been able to get on MC all morning, yet people at other companies can... I'm starting to think I have a new computer skill to learn.

What do you think? Do you know how? Teach me?

T'would make a great addition to my homepage ;)

There is a reason you can't access sites from work. It is highly unadvisiable to attempt to circumvent your IT rules. Some comapnies will go as far as termination for circumventing the company filters.

You can access LoT but not MC. Probably the topics and verbage used.

Fair enough.

Let's hope it's not a blocked-at-work thing though. Otherwise LoT will be next (because let's face it, there isn't another site out there worthy of my daily attention like LoT and MC, so w/out one, I'll be spending more time on the other... LoTs more)

I think it's the language and subject matter that is hitting the filters.

Do you get any sort of error message when trying to access MC? Or a web filter saying you aren't allowed to access this site due to....?

Depending on the policy, you can sometimes legally get around it by remoting into your own home PC. What you do once you are on your home PC is your business. It's not going through their servers.

Ask your IT staff if remote access into your home PC (for getting files you worked on at home ;) ) is acceptable or not.

I get a DNS error and it offers to see if the domain name is available

Try putting in: 69.16.243.148 for an address.

This is what I'm getting:

Damn you have some lazy IT folks. :)
