Stupid filters...

Once again, my attempts to view gaming material at work have been thwarted. I recently tried to go here, as directed by the Penny Arcade guys, yet our blocker-thing defies me.

Can someone tell me how to view this? I can do it in something like babel fish, but of course, it's in a different language (it doesn't get blocked that way though, because it changes the web address). I was told about other sites, I think they were called proxy sites or something? However, those are usually blocked as well.

If someone wanted, I suppose they could try to PM me the contents of the link, but I'd also appreciate suggestions on how to circumnavigate this monster.

I think there's sites on the internet where you can put the URL in and it directs you to the site via proxy, but I can't remember the link... have a search for it maybe.

Try this, its what I use in my college anyway and it works nicely.

http://www.proxyweb.net/

http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html

or www.snoopblocker.com cant remember this one for certain though.

EDIT O just open the links up, and put in the web address you want to go to in the wee text bar and you should be sent there, its slower than normal but does pass blocks.

Both are blocked for "proxy avoidance".

That's kind of ironic.

Ouch sounds like pretty strick blocks you have.

EDIT: As a side point post more combat logs, ive got nothing to do most of the time in college and you cant read forums or play flash games for more than twenty mins or you go crazy. tongue.gif
