Not the school's firewall...How do I get around "Websense policy"?

Yea, I'd like to access certain sites (computer hardware, gaming, email, etc) from school, but most sites are blocked and I can't access them. Now, I know there must be a way to get around this annoyance, but I don't know how.

Can anyone help?
 
Considering that there are quite a few network admins on the boards, you might get some replies you don't like for trying to circumvent network security which, if you succeed, could compromise the entire network.

Nah...it won't...I'm just trying to access good sites they blocked, because they don't want us us surfing and checking our email at school.

I'd pay attention to what HappyPuppy said...there are a lot of admins around here who don't like to see this type of discussion.
 
You may not delibertly comprimise the network, however, others may pioggyback on you.

The guidleines are in place for a reason.

The school bandwidth will also be a concern.

If you want complete access, setup your own account off campus.

You'd be surprised how much damage you could cause by what seem like very minor things superficially.

Then again, I have little right to talk given that I made a habit of hacking the school's network when I was in HS/College...

Geez

This is outgoing, not incoming...

I'm trying to, while at school, access some of the gaming and hardware reviews sites, which they simply block because they don't want us going off on tangents. For instance, if I'd like to research something (say, a topic like creating your own network cables), half of the sites I get as a result of a search are blocked. That sucks.

Number one: I'm not trying to hack into anything at the school.
Number two: I'm responsible enough to not compromise the school's network. Whenever a server is actually up, we're completely isolated anyway.
Number three: It was a teacher that I heard this from in the first place. I was doing my project and couldn't really listen in too carefully, so I missed the point.
Number four: I'm an Admin in training
Number five: You guys just like to pick on people...

I'll just shut the damned thread down...
 
> This is outgoing, not incoming...

It's not your network, so abide by the rules or don't use it.

I went wrong in the description of my issue...

What I was talking about wasn't the school's firewall...It was something called "Websense policy."
This seems to block certain (not all) sites. I understand this i the case of pron & warez sites, for instance, but when I research a "valid" topic, I'd actually like to be able to get to the sites with results, instead of having to wait until I get home to do it.

Now, I don't see how this could put the school's network in jeopardy.
 
Submit a list of sites and justification to the network admin. If this was suggested by the instructor, get a written memo from him/her also.

If IT thinks it is reasonable, they may loosen the filter for your system.
 
The only way around the Websense filter is to ask the sysadmin to change the filtering rules or get your own independent account separate from their network.

Not true Websense is very easy to get around...but you probably shouldn't be going wherever they have blocked in school anyways...

Oh please...

I can access my email from directv, while not being able to get to my earthlink mail. I can access about 85% of warez sites while not being able to gain access to legit hardware and games reviews sites. It's absurd, and what the hell is the network admin/IT dept. going to do about it anyway?

What's wrong with curiosity anyway? Our instructor(s) certainly encourage it.

Can't wait til you're responsible for securing a production network. Love to hear your stance on this stuff THEN.
 
When people have issues like this at work they can set it up to connect and control their desktop at home and use the internet connection/browser from their home computer to surf, but I don't think this applies to your situation at school tho.
 
Nothing wrong with curiosity, nope, nothing at all. Find something that you're allowed to do and be as curious as you want.

Companies, colleges and schools are tightening up on this stuff because it's a security risk. The problem is that the "curious" user is usually much lamer than they think they are and expose the network...usually through pure ignorance or selfishness.

The company I work for has been having a virtual parade of extremely talented folks, valuable employees, every one of 'em .....but they're gone: fired for breaking the "Zero Tolerance Network Policy." The local management can moan and bitch all they want; the employee is gone because Corporate Security has the final say.

Eventually, you're likely to learn two popular lessons: The first is that there's only an insignificant chance that what you want to do (against the rules) is an original idea. Failure to grasp this concept (you're not as smart as you think you are -corollary- there's always someone smarter than you, and they're usually in control) will put you in a very bad situation.

Second is that you rarely get booted out of school for following the rules. The rules exist to protect the system from people like you that don't understand the word "no." It doesn't matter why; whine all you want, that's the way it is. Get over it.

You're more likely to get extra privileges if you can prove that you can work within the system, and be trusted with the extra responsibilities. Trying to "get around" the system just demonstrates that you're a spoiled twerp that can't be trusted. Getting caught is likely to a cause revocation of the privileges you have.

Follow the post above. Write up a justification for access of the places you want to surf, if you make the case, maybe you get the extra access privileges, if you don't, then give up, and use what you're given. They may tolerate your attitude now, but once you hit the real world, you're a goner ... fair or not, that's they way it is ... plan on it.

Good Luck

This is a part of the listings I have on my HOME machine from people that do not understand the security implications in what they are doing. You dont want to see the logs from busy networks. Or from anything more advanced than Apache. Although, I am planning on setting up snort in the near future, so Ill start using those logs as examples for little punks instead of my apache logs. 😛

Try staring at those for a living. You get tired of little children trying to get inside of your computer or network. And the kids that want to get out to where they shouldnt are just as bad. If not worse, they shouldnt be trying to make your job harder. But of courete beeve tyareme ipotn hanthIT staff.

Anyhow, come up with a professional sounding paper on the sites that should be blocked but are not and the sites that are blocked that should not be. Include reasons why these should be added to or removed from the blocked site list. Acting like a child will not help your cause.
