Right, so work blocks pretty much EVERYTHING (Even this site somehow), they use that silly "Websense" which blocks site based on content in addition to a list of URLs, so it scans the page for keywords (forums, blog, mp3, peer to peer, sports etc).
Anways, we've been getting around with a proxy... which BTW is amazing, fast and reliable http://www.robertafnani.com/moo/, if anyone needs one. However they have no blacklisted this URL and we can no longer scour the interwebs freely...
So, does anyone have any good proxy sites? Most of them are already blocked, so need one that is not found in your usual simple google search of "proxy"...
Before anyone suggests, I can't use remote desktop or logmein etc...
Just need a decent proxy site to get out of the firewall and websense...
Anyone got any?

Is there anyway you talk to someone in you're security department and get a special proxy from them?
I found that there weren't any really good proxies out there that let you freely surf the net. I ended up getting access to one of our 'special' proxies for IT/Security so I can pretty much go anywhere.

Can't, tried, pretty tight with the IT and still can't. I've tried saying it's for work, but they just ask what sites I DO need and they will open those up after submitting a load of paperwork and having it approved from my boss's, boss's, boss's, boss's, mom... or something lol
It's pretty locked because of the ISO certifications and whatnot...

Keep in mind that every URL that someone goes to on your network is probably recorded, and if you go to it very often then it's probably going to be bumped near the top of the list. All your IT guy needs to do is go to it himself to see what it is, and boom, block it. Switch it up with a bunch of different sites if you can.

Noted... as I said before, we're pretty tight with our IT, they can turn a blind eye to most the we do, just can't break rules by opening up sites or giving us permissons.
This last proxy has been kind to us for the past 8 months, no issues... it must have either been flagged by WEBSENSE in a recent update, or even our corprate or head offices may have caught it...

Night shift can get quite boring once you've completed all the tasks/duties that you can at night...
