Restricted Access At Work (Internet)

How many of you people who work in an office or on a computer have restricted access when using the internet.

My work is going to implement some enhanced security features within out network which will prevent alot of the people here from surfing aswell.

I surf sometimes but itll be a bitch if I cant access anything

at my work i'm restricted of a ton of keywords in the URL (game, ebay , gmail, facebook, etc.)

there are some ways around it though... if i change http:// to https:// then facebook and gmail will work (with some broken images/layout though).. and they made some of the words like 'game' case sensitive for some reason, so if i went to www.aosdkjasd.com/gamEs it works. if msn is blocked use meebo.com. but you can get cockblocked completely if your management has a decent router and/or put in enough effort to set things up properly.. kind of ironic that my work (an ISP) failed at this heh

very annoying still, but when no one's around i usually just take out my laptop and use wifi... and the rest of the time my smartphone fills in :P

public proxies are usually the first things to be banned.


at my workplace, absolutely nothing is blocked and there's no monitoring unless your manager requests it and have doubts.

I think that once a company reaches a certain size, there's just no alternative. We were fine up to about a year ago, no monitoring, no restrictions, just a loosely-defined and even more loosely-enforced "acceptable use policy" with guidelines like "don't watch streaming video during peak business hours", and it would appear that people simply can't be trusted. We simply can't have critical business apps grinding to a halt because some asshole was browsing 12 Facebook pages at once and had 6 movies loading.

Sure, we can punish the guilty parties specifically, but in order to identify them we'd have to implement detailed monitoring, which most people seem to perceive as even worse. Filtering seems to be the lesser of two evils. And yes, with any reasonably competent IT staff, expect the vast majority of public proxies to be blocked.

We only care about social networking and streaming media; you want to surf, read newspapers, blogs, that sort of thing, you're fine.

I'm the only IT guy at work. The only time I browse is when running some heavy queries in MS Access and I can't do any development or data entry.

Otherwise I check e-mail several times per day and perhaps download a new set every couple of days to listen to while working.

Typically I'm disappointed with the amount of work I get done during the day so screwing around on the internet is inherently against the rules.

LOL, you sell the internet!

At my work, all www is open however the port used by online poker games is blocked, whether at work or tunneling into the VPN. P2P apps are also banned, which can be a terrible drain on bandwidth.
