Rep Power: 8 | So unless they agree to unblock it on the admin network I probably wont be around here anymore. Posting this from my phone so excuse the huge paragraphs! Last edited by ZeroHour; 15-01-2008 at 05:56 PM.. |

Rep Power: 8 | Right I might have been a bit over dramatic before It seems anything with vBulletin is automatically blocked with websense The stupid thing is that the new forum worked for half hour or so this morning, then was suddenly blocked Support call to the LEA was of no help at all...they just say its correctly categorised as a forum Maybe our LEA is more strict than others...hopefully no-one else has this problem with the forum change I now have to use a virtual machine with an admin IP address (since we have an ISA server with a single external address which is a curriculum one) but at least I can get on |

Do you not have the facility to have an IP address unfiltered? We have 2 IP's that have no filtering whatsoever for myself and my senior tech? | |

Rep Power: 8 | Apparantly not, we just get a reply back saying its blocked as part of our policy. It used to be possible but since they upgraded the filter and support system (and perhaps staff?) its almost a waste of time even asking them, whatever reason you give, they won't unblock a single site jcollings - sort of, we can have categories such as forums and software downloads allowed on certain addresses, but nowhere near unfiltered access |

Rep Power: 13 | I suppose if you find someone who knows about the internal meanderings of web filters, this one would be easy to work around... i'm 99% sure websense use the same anti-forum jiggerypokery as we do.... see you at BETT |

Asked them just now about giving us a staff policy that would be unrestricted apart from adult material etc, but they say they cant do it. I know for a fact they at least used to be able to, because they used to have a copy of their policies available for download, and there was an optional one that allowed everything ZeroHour - nice one, thanks. I know a lot of forums would just say 'tough' so I appreciate you trying to help greatly | |

Blog Entries: 1 Rep Power: 49 | Do they block the RM Communities? Technet? Apple Discussion Boards? As a registered Educational Supplier of advice and consultancy (check the Becta lists folks) we can request that they do not block us and allow others. PM me and I will give them a ring tomorrow from BETT. |
