Any one know how to bypass this in any form? i doubt it, but if there is a way id like to no. But Websense runs on the main computer dosent it? and monitors every bit of traffic going through the lan..so i think youd have to disable it from the main PC.

Quote Comment from tim_holman Date: 07/11/2004 01:23PM PDT Comment Firstly, I do hope you're asking this question for academic reasons ! Although my personal opinion is that you pay a hell of a lot of money for Websense, and there are ways through it that people should be made aware of, so that perhaps they get a bit more proactive and add proxy sites to their databases quicker ! Secondly, yes, there are ways to bypass Websense that involve using external proxy servers as you've found above. To be honest, Websense should make sure they categorize all these and block them, but they don't, and can be a few months behind. Myself and colleagues have in the past used an anonymous proxy site consistently for 2-3 months before Websense found and blocked it. I believe their stance is that they will only review sites that the master database has seen more than 10 different installs of Websense access, or something similar ? So, less-used sites won't be categorised, whereas popular ones will. Still - they do a good job considering the millions of websites around and I would say there's a good 99% hit rate. Other ways to get round Websense are the use of Google caches - ie do a search on google, and look at the 'cached' pages. There is, however, NO way to get round Websense and access pages that it has categorized and that the administrator has blocked. First website from searching google..

0 Bwizzel-B Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 If it's a "regular website", then just send your administrator an email explaining it. If there is nothing objectionable to them, they'll most likely take it off the list.

0 mzkhadir Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I know that websense usually doesn't apply to foreign websites except for sex, warez and other sites deemable offensive because when one of the companies used websense, you could always go to a foreign site to get the news or set up a proxy server at home to forward your address there and then to somewhere else.

0 Gabureiru Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 we had websense here. And the only way to surpass it, is by having someone letting you access to those pages or use another way of connecting to the internet Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/211561-bypassing-websence/#findComment-584471743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +Nik Louch Subscriber² Posted August 31, 2004 Subscriber² Share Posted August 31, 2004 Doesn't work with websence. Websence is a very a very good proxy/blocker, and lame tricks will only be identified as proxy bypass (a banned category) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/211561-bypassing-websence/#findComment-584471833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
