Gmail not blocked here, surprisingly ... WebSense not activated to that degree I guess. I can get around it if I have to for other things anyway :p

Websense blocks it for me with all other web based email. Also blocks any entertainement, sports, game sites...and oddly Message Boards. But for some reason I am able to access Anandtech forums at times.

Yea, you could check out some proxy sites... but you might want to rethink that. People have been fired for less.

If you really want to, you could set up your own proxy server at home, and get a dynamic dns service to access it. Still probably not a good idea though.

They block it here and claim it's to stop viruses. But it makes no sense because gmail and similar sites always have up-to-date virus scanning. The real reason is for productivity.
