Is anybody else blocked from OS from work?

[dkgojackets]

It's blocked at school, along with a ****load of other sites (any forums, any games, wikipedia (?), etc.) and all the proxies I've used get blocked within a couple weeks. Bleh.

So far it isn't blocked at my school, but sites like ESPN, CBS Sportsline, YouTube, and Addicting Games are all blocked. They blocked CBS after we tried to use March Madness On Demand in study hall, bastards.

I mean I usually only check at lunch which is considered my time but anyways can any of you techies let me know if its stupid to use a proxy while at work...

I'm the nazi admin at my job so I don't have to worry about. They'll eventually catch onto the safeforwork site. Instead of showing up as www.operationsports.com in the proxy logs, it will show up with the safe for work url. If they have half a brain, they'll realize you're using it to look at something you shouldn't be. If I were you, I'd just adhere to their policy.

that's how my office is too except I get "quota time" which gives me 20 min to browse selected blocked webpages. It blocks gaming sites all the time, but it thinks the forums.operationsports.com is a sports site so I can use my "quota time."

Same here, but since I control the web filter, I'd just add OS to the "whitelist".

God forbid that they want you to do actual *work* while you're at work.
