Getting on fb when fb is blocked

[taximike]

Howdy,

So - does anyone know of a simple non-dodgy web-based proxy or something? Or how about some sort of web based chat client where I can use fb chat without actually being on fb?

Thank-you,

TM

If it is work that is blocking facebook and you use some method of getting around said block you are pretty much opening youself up to being fired.

Just go on the mobile site on your phone.

No-one here cares, they didn't set up the IT!

A VPN service should work just fine

Use a browser proxy? www.hidemyass.com

I dont even know if this will work.

I worked at a place a few years ago that had it blocked. After they blocked it the girls were distraught so I tried a few things for them. This worked - http://www.vtunnel.com/

Trillian has a browser based service, which supports Facebook chat.

Google freegate. Can you install desktop based instant messengers?

It's because of people like you why companies block facebook entirely.

Do some work.

Facebook? Well instead of trying to circumvent your companies measures to restrict and/or meter the use of their internet (which is most likely a breach of their ICT Policy and could get you in trouble) you could just use your mobile..?

If you don't have a mobile phone capable of viewing the web/Facebook then get one, or a better paid job!

[Talbs13]

Why don't you just do your work?

If you are bored just flop your iPhone out .

I have never heard that word, so I googled it. And it pointed to this thread. Hence I conclude you made it up!
