How to bypass Websense? Get around Websense?

Question

I want to access MySpace.com. Using http://forum.tupah.com, does not help much.

Answer 1

It depends... If you are trying to get around it because you work at a civilian company that blocks it, you could always try using a proxy website to hide your surfing... though you might violate your employment agreement which could result in your termination.

If you are trying to bypass the military implementation of Websense, don't bother:

1) You will be in violation of Article 92 of the UCMJ and subject to Article 15 or Courts Martial action when you get caught
2) You will get caught because military network security specialists are smart enough to look for those web proxy sites

Besides, don't you have work to do rather than wasting your day on Myspace? Do that crap in your off-time. Stop being a lazy slob and do some work for a change.

Answer 2

Unfortunately there is not really a way around Websense and doing so could be grounds for dismissal at your company. The only way I know of is if you can VPN into another network that doesn't have Websense. Since everything is over an encrypted tunnel Websense only sees the VPN connection, but there is a good chance that your firewall administrator also has any ports that would allow you to do such a thing blocked.

It's best to keep your blogging and My Space time at home, rather than at work anyway. Unless you don't like your job and are looking to get fired anyway!

Answer 3

You're not going to have much luck. Since the filter lies outside of your computer between you and the internet there's little you can do.
