Internet Filtering Software
 My work just installed Internet filtering software that denies access to any sports, entertainment, and shopping sites.  Now I can only access Reefland during my lunch hour, or from home. Needless to say, work is going to be a lot more boring from now on. Anyone else have this crappy software at their job?

Schrocat,
It's called WebSense, but I'm afraid it's not very aptly named. The dang thing is, my department uses the Internet all the time for legitimate reasons. I'm finding a lot of the academic and government sites that I need are also blocked.

ccull,
Unfortunately, the second site is blocked. I can get to the first site but I'm a little nervous about downloading/installing software for this purpose. I'm going to look around for more re-headering type sites. If you think of any more, throw them my way.

They also periodically add the anonomizer sites to the filtered sites database.
Just to mix it up a little...
