Get around at-work internet filters

thanks...and karma to you!!
I work at a school and would LIKE to check my email once and awhile...God knows thats all I have time to do on my own time there

I've seen my company has blocked only certain things. ImageShack and Snapfish, but not Shutterfly and Smugmug; any sites that SOUND porn-like or that the techies know are something to not see online... it's weird and very calculated. Haven't been blocked by MySpace and the such yet but I will keep this in mind if they get more Big Brother on us! Karma!

I will have to check this out tomorrow. If I keep going to inforoo regularly it will be blocked soon like bonnaroo.com is. I think they have filters that watch the bandwidth at work. I know I use the internet at work way too much, but they havent said anything yet.

In high school we would always find proxies to get around that such, and I think the main one we use was www.kproxy.com

But it doesn't really help much if they imply that software on the network that blocks everything, including proxies.

At my college though nothing is really censored, so that's nice

Can't get on this.

But I will share my secret to get on a crappy version of myspace (and some other sites too):
You can use the mobile version of Google to get onto cell phone versions of sites
1. Go to google.com
2. google "mobile google"
3. click on the link with the xhtml one ( i think its www.google.com/xhtml)
4. Now you are on mobile google
5. anything you google from here will still have a google prefix and doesn't get blocked

This is the only way I can get on myspace at work. Kind of suchs that its the mobile version, but at least I can check my messages

Yeah...and if you work for DoD...it's called a Class V security violation - Stick U in cuffs and cart you off to Levenworth....

Really? I thought it was just us poor peeps they beat with that stick....glad to know they torture us all equally ;D
