Proxy sites? - Page 3

€uroMeinke · 08-25-2006, 12:20 AM

I got a cell phone PDA to circumvent my work restrictions - Fine, I'll leave your device alone, but I'm still checking my personal email you bastards, and maybe even a restricted webn page or two.

My firm has no problem with my checking my email ... or venturing anywhere else for less than an hour or so per day. It's just the places that I spend a lot of time on that eventually get blocked.

Someone please save me the shame of having Micechat blocked, as that's what I've been reduced to. Proxy sites sound like the (im)perfect solution. How do I do it?????

iSm: hey, you could try the numerical LoT address, see if they blocked taht on ya

So what would keep an industrious IT type from just blocking your access to the proxy site?

I've tried to find any of the proxy sites that will allow you to define the site accessed and then properly handle cookie and session information but haven't yet. They are all set up for specific sites such as MySpace and other such things.

And the coding for doing that is beyond me at my level of education.

But yeah, if they're specifically blocking sites based on your actual traffic patterns then they're just going to block the proxy.

The downloadable scripts do just that. Check out hotscripts.com.

It looks like you are just accessing the url of the place the proxy is on. They never know.

Yeah, but it will take them months to catch on to it. It's not like it's constantly monitored. They just do it every once in a blue.

Ok, post real slowly for me now .... the LoT numerical address? Huh?

The IP address for MiceChat.

Rather than typing "http://www.micechat.com" in your browser address bar type "69.16.243.148" and see if that works. Every domain on the internet is actually represented by a number like that. The domain names we are all familiar with is just an added layer so that we can actually remember them.

The lazy IT person will just block the textual domain name without blocking the actual IP address. Kind of like if your phone system was set up so you couldn't call 1-800-FLOWERS but you could still call 1-800-356-9377.

How can you look up what a numeric address is? (I tried seaarching for this info and couldn't find it).

innerSpaceman · 08-26-2006, 09:22 AM

Is that the number in Post 7 above?

I doubt my IT guy is quite that stupid or lazy, but I'll give it a shot.

Actual proxy sites sound much more promising. Anyone have a bead on one of those?
