Louise Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Guys, Just to let you know I will not be around much longer as my work has started to increase their network filtering and some sites (shopping etc) will only be available at lunchtime but some sites (social networking and discussion forums) that are not deemed to be work related are completely banned Along with a whole raft of others Obviously it will take a while to put all of this in place but we were told its happening this week so I will only be here if I am visiting my parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Oh no, Louise, that's a terrible shame . We'll miss you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Louise! That's so sad! What will we do without you? Do try to hop on as often as you can. We have a fliter at work so we (and the children can't see Utube etc) but Omlet works... fingers crossed it will slip through your work's net too!

chickencam Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Bad luck Louise Come and see us as often as you can. Omlet slipped through the filter at my sons school until one of the sixth formers stopped it when they found him on here at lunchtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 There are ways of getting round these restrictions. One way is to use a Proxy server. Do a quick google for free proxy. The all you do is type in the address you want to vist on the proxy site and the site will open . It works by using someone elses internet connection (perfectly legal).

Couperwife Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 the proxy server may be legal fred, but it causes all sorts of problems for the company networks and leaves them very vulnerable. we had a lovely child in school set up a proxy server and told many people about it, we managed to catch the virus - but only just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
