The internet content filtering system used at my work, Websense, has added DSI to the their "Adult Content" category, therefore no more DSI at work.

I find it funny they chose "Adult Content" and not "Social Networking" (facebook and myspace come under this); i guess we're infamous for hot pics firstly and social networking secondly.

i had that... was proper pissed off, first they block myspace, then facebook and now DSI

i'm gonna have to start doing some work soon if they carry on like this

I think Websense has a JPG fleshtone recognition module, which might automatically categorise it under that heading.

use a proxy use a proxy use a proxy

thats what i do at work

although they will probably sack my ass if they find out

My DSI is blocked in work now under Social Networking :(

Websense should have a decent list of proxies in it to block.

(You could always set up your own but it knows about MOST common ones.)

there are new ones out everyday dave

True.

Remote Desktop to your browser at home is another good way if you have RD on your work machine.

and the Remote Desktop port isn't blocked, obviously.

or you could print out loads of pages before work and then write replies on the print outs in pen then return home and type them all in

this should help (nsfw)

thats just orville and that cunt keith harris

whats a proxy ??

I had the same problem with one of my own modelling sites: there was no p0rn there but it had words like "model" so it got blocked. It seems that a lot of filters rely on ICRA ratings which are put into the web pages, so if DSI could implement that it might not be automatically blocked. Its free, quick and easy to do.

i have the exact problem as my work have too blocked it from it being"adult content"

I can't help thinking that if DSI actually used ACCURATE ICRA labels, then it most certainly WOULD be blocked!

Our workplace is locked down pretty well. Our copies of IE are locked so you can't assign another proxy.

But that's beside the point, our internal firewall blocks all outgoing traffic. Web access is only possible through the internal proxy which is all 'websensed' upped.

you could try actually "working" for once while you're there?


just a thought...

I wonder if it would still block it if I put dsi in an I Frame then hosted that page on one of my domains.

I think I might give that a go.

Drugs are mentioned on the site, possibly?
