Hi. I have tried everything to get past websense. our internet options are disabled so we are not allowed to access them and all of the web proxy sites that i have tried have failed. If anyone can help me it would be greatly apprecieated.
I've added a couple more choices to your poll so that everyone can feel they have a chance to vote. People love to click boxes
I've also moved it to the general off topic section since it wasn't a complaint about Switzerland/Swiss life
i need to bypass websense but every web proxy that i use is blocked. my internet options are disabled. please anyone help me.
ok. thanks for that. i'm new to posting forums and stuff.
Are you moving to Switzerland? If not, you might want to find a forum more appropriate to your query.
I've added another option. No matter what you do, they will know you're up to something. You're trying to do something that many have tried to do before you.....and failed.
Are you familiar with www.google.com at all? It's truly very good for finding stuff on the net thing...
In a previous incarnation I used administrate Websense, I can tell you that no what what you try you are screwed. Websense locks down Internet access tighter than a goldfishes bum and if you do find a way around it you will be faced with a very pissed off sys admin, who will know what you have done, and the possibility of a disciplinary hearing. Do you really want Internet access that badly?
actually the mention of google reminds me of cached pages.
But I think websense is starting to sniff these out too.
As Lou pointed out, beat websense but you still lose. The company controls the point of exit; your squid or other proxy logs will still register your sins
Websense does do cached pages too, it can also handle Google images.
Yep ... we had someone in our old company in the UK that was on a website he should not have been. He was marched off the premises, was only allowed to collect this personal belongings (with someone watching over his shoulder) and then had to hand in his badge and that was it for the guy.
Yikes - what website is so horrific that it requires immediate dismissal?
Could be porn, racial hatred or something along those lines. If the Internet access policy explicitly forbids them in your contract then it's bye bye.
If you can get around websense, do it from someone else's PC...
I see plenty of unattended PCs every day that aren't locked.
Perhaps it's the sysadmin/support person in me from previous lives
...and you send an obscene email from that computer to a pseudo Chief Executive's email address ? It reminds me of the security guy that kept stealing stuff from our office to make a point. It didn't really, as he had keys for everything.

Exactly what the guy said happened ... He said someone must have gone on his PC and then went on a porn website. The company said that they don't "care" as it was his account and thus he is responsible for it and he should have locked his PC. Believe me since then whenever I walk away from my desk, I lock my PC!!
Nah, too old hat..
i sometimes uses www.kproxy.com and type in the website i wanted to see
That's how i use orkut in my office
