good proxy website

[SIRCOOKS]

I would like you guys to tell me a good proxy website i can use at work to check my hotmail as well as other things on the internet. These damn I.T. Bastards are locking people from certain sites.

[IKnowNothing]

As one of those I.T. B*s I have to say that we don't make the rules we only implement them.
The main reasons for blocking websites are inappropriate material, virii or other perceived threats.

In most organizations if you circumvent the system by using an external proxy then you leave yourself wide open to a charge of Gross Misconduct and instant dismissal - even if you only wanted to check your email.

As a first step I'd find out about the policy on personal email and then ask why hotmail has been blocked - you never know it could be a mistake.

[SIRCOOKS]

This still doesn't provide me with a site? Can you recomend one mr I.T.

[stiltman]

I'm an IT bastard too.

4th one down

BTW, you have to remember free proxies are up one day and down the next. They also can be very slow.
BTW2, your IT bastards could be forcing you through a proxy without you even knowing it too.

www.stupidcensorship.com if they are blocked you could subscribe to their email list and use the sites they setup every few days

...These damn I.T. Bastards are locking people from certain sites.

then this is a pretty good indicator that internet usage is monitored.
which in turn means that any "good" proxy site you find will quickly be blocked.

@ the OP:

How about using a cyber-café/LAN house during the lunch time

[Supreme2k]

I have to agree with the other "bastards". Screw around on the net on your own time. If they can your behind, you have no one to blame but yourself.

That's probably exactly what your IT is trying to prevent: people web surfing when they should be working.

Xylob - you need to sue the OP for using your avatar. Surely there should be a forum rule against such bad behavior.

No $h!t!!
I did not realize it was not Xylob the Destroyer until i saw what you wrote and went back up to look at his name, just saw the avatar and thought it was him

[Xylob the Destroyer]

My custom avatar was dropped by the site. When I went in to "fix" it, I could no longer use my own avatar!!!
what I'm using now is a default vh avatar...

[Xylob the Destroyer]

there we go, that's better!!
They have DRASTICALLY cut down on the file size limit for avatars...
now limited to 10k!

1) @ Xylob the Destroyer:

Congratulations for the cooler avatar

2) To whom this may interest:

I wondered what happened to your old avatar or why you changed it.

[Xylob the Destroyer]

I guess they deleted it because the file size was too large(?).
I much prefer this:



or this:


guess I'll have to do some playing around in photochop as you cannot use a link as an avatar anymore either...
