I don't think bypassing management decisions is the proper way with address an issue like this. Someone can get terminated for violating company protocol, even if they're just trying to do their job. People need to talk the problems out. If the company continues to restrict access to valuable media, they can pay the price required for people to get their jobs done in the absence of that media. This becomes a pure business issue, not technical. T ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] [OT] Site blocked
Heh... Got a mobile device? What about suspicious employees? Better take their mobile toys away too and put up a faraday cage to block cell phone data coverage. Seriously, that is a horrible 'security practice' if that is the true reason for it. I used to block facebook, myspace, etc and it's a futile attempt these days with mobile devices. The ad posting could have been traced back to a computer simply from proxy and/or packet logs. Doesn't blocking the potential leak sites take the cheese off of the mouse trap?

Re: [U2] [OT] Site blocked
Oh wow, what an interesting way to address that. I'm thinking that some of those ads showed up on the internet then -- perhaps you could block that? smiles. --dawn On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 3:38 PM, Glorfield, Gordon wrote: > This is how it was explained to me.

Just use Tor Project and you can browse anything. They hide/relay all your requests and the network has no idea what sites you are browsing.
