What do you do when ATOT is blocked at work?

[thehstrybean]

If you weren't going to quit already, you, sir, are a dumbass...

Lay it on me then.

I work for a fairly large 2500 ish corporation with 30-40 outlying offices. I used to be able to get on at, but, like the OP, they've recently nixed most forums. And for me, it's not worth quitting

Works in some cases; translate the URL.

There are also services that'll do this for you.

Work has "URL Translation sites" blocked.

What are the services? I'll pay a small monthly fee if it means I can surf forums at work

Yes, I walked in today planning to resign and I start a hugely better job in 3 weeks.

Well, that ruined this thread =p

Hmm.. there would have been other ways to try and handle it, but you're my hero for today for doing it.

SSH tunnel to your box at home for the win!

Any tutorials on how to do this? I finally got broadband this week so no longer have to pay for a proxy service to view my favorite sites.

I am thinkng of using remote desktop but dont want to installthe client software in the office PC.


I know there is a way to use VNC using a web browser but I have heard this SSH tunnel suggestion a couple of times and am willing to learn more.



EDIT: found this guide SSH

seems a little complicated, but will play around with it.

About 10 minutes later, I walked into my boss' office and resigned. I am having none of that...

This is a true story.

Good for you. ATOT is far better than stinking work!

 

[Rubycon]

ummm work?

:laugh:

 

[randay]

Its a good thing that I have control over what is blocked and what is not then

 

[CrackRabbit]

At one time I was forced to use AOL as a proxy.
I couldn't post on AT but I could read it.
better than nothing i guess.

I call shens on this. Offer up some proof.
