Actually...and you DIDN'T hear this from me...at all...the way the cool kids get around web filters is via TOR (The Onion Router).

Here's a link to a version of Firefox Mobile tied to TOR that will run from a USB flash drive (or anywhere really) without an install.

This isn't a guarantee of success...but if all you care about is web surfing, then it works pretty well. The bonus is that you're surfing more or less anonymously since your packets are actually passing through three separate, random servers before it reaches the destination host. The downside is that because your traffic is passing between three separate, random servers...browsing time is slow.

However, Slow vs. None...not a bad deal.

But, you didn't hear it from ME if you get busted and fired. :p

2nd Man: You'll be coming with us. We have a few "questions" for you.

Does that program work for you Mr. Stoke? :p I'm actually curious if there's filtering software that beats TOR, because the way it's setup is pretty clever.

Also note that the goal of TOR is provide truly anonymous web-surfing, not to get around web filters. :p

I aint got the balls to try something like that at work. Mrs. Stoke would be all over it like CB on a plate of BBQ....

Re: Another Quiet Day Here In Forum Land

I'm on at work! I don't have the time to be posting! AAARRG! One armed paper hangers of the world unite! Why is it that when it snows all the customers show up wanting offices with PCs in different languages, and then the office managers start swapping customers around. Others have VPNs that use ports that no one uses so they are blocked by the packet filters and trying to get a hold of the network group and then explain the problem in detail to each person along the way so they will send me on to the next (although they all have to try to fix it even though I know they wont be able to) and after two days of being on the phone I get to talk to someone who actually can log into the network to inspect the VPN connection and see the ports and go oh, hang tight *flick* try now. WORKS! and then the customer is gone a week later! ARRRRG!

The best way would get someone to donate a WoW account to the hospital pediatric ward. Then you would have to tutor the children in the ward how to play the game. It would be hard work but someone would have to do it. LoL.
