Websense blocking Dynamite Data

[bobross419]

When I click on a link to a vendor (like New Egg) I'm getting a page block from my company's WebSense. I can get to New Egg normally without any problems, so I'm assuming its Dynamite Data that WebSense doesn't like. I figured I'd just remove everything from the link before www.newegg.com but that doesn't work either...

Example:

http://detonator.dynamitedata....Item%3dN82E16811154084

Becomes...

http://www.newegg.com%2fProduc...Item%3dN82E16811154084

But I get a Server not found error.

Anyone know what I can do to get to these pages?

Assuming you're using FireFox

Go to https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html and click and drag the 'remove redirects' button to your bookmark toolbar. Then just click on that before you click on any links here and it will remove the dynamitedata redirects.

Yay, websense will still send data to your netadmin regardless what web surfer you use. I used to be a web admin and we would nail 99% of the people who switched browsers and if they spent too much time browsing instead of working they got pinkslipped. Be careful dude, just because you can "get" to a website without websense bitching that doesnt mean you aint being watched.
