Sorry that would be me. I'm Inappropriate for all ages

They are pretty stupid if they only block it by DNS and not IP.

Don't be stupid, when sat at a computer with the internet the last thing you are meant to do is some work.

I'm sat here at work bored playing on the web.

the average user will not know to use an ip address.

If I found anyone getting around the filter on my network, you'd soon find your logon account disabled

anyone who knows anything about computers knows a DNS resolves to an IP.. All the computer students will be having a good laugh. Friends tell friends, the block is useless.

I'm getting around my work's proxy by running firefox portable off a usb drive, with the gladder add-on. You can just go into the options and enter in a list of websites. then when it sees you're visiting one of these, it routes it by a proxy.
Though I wouldn't trust it with any passwords, so you'd be kinda stuffed if you wanted to post. Unless you change the password first, or something.

I probably insulted him at some point.

proxy.guardster.com and www.ocukmods.co.uk may be useful to you.

I used to get around idiot admins at college by connecting via remote desktop to my home PC using realvnc on a usb stick. They kept trying to block it but they never could as I'd just change the port I used, eventually they had to resort to actually speaking to me face to face and ask me to stop. They didn't seem very comfortable with that

Network administrator clearly buy his computer hardwares from a competitor web shop.

They're pretty stupid if they don't block it by content either. I've yet to find a way around my BlueCoat proxy :/

Yep.

Also for the guy using an external proxy, the traffic still has to go out from your own proxy... A decent network admin should see that as an IP that isn't categorised by your own filtering software and come down on you like a ton of bricks

waso_dude · 14 Jul 2008 at 14:44

Logmein.com works really really well for this too

Thankfully, I've hardly had to use it, as most sites are fine. Not heard anything from IT though. That said, when I first moved to this site, it took them a whole week to get me a login for the network, so they don't seem to be the sharpest knives.

Stupid as hell. One day at college during my lunch break I was browsing a programming website, which happened to be about game programming specifically, and the admin said I wasn't allowed on it because it was games related, so he blocked it. wtf.

Or maybe they're just very busy with more important things?

If I'm doing infrastructure maintenance a user account request will be at the bottom of my inbox.
