“it was working yesterday and now is blocked… and hidemyass is also blocked.
these guys work quick”

I would say they monitor DNS traffic and probably have an alert for “New URLs” if they ban sites as you find them.

If they are using the hosted solution from Websense you might be able to bypass it if you can change your local machine’s DNS settings to point to say opendns: 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220

Hehe, Interestingly enough, I blocked gambling and porn sites on my work network and got shat out by the CEO and other managers because they couldn’t place bets on games and view the filthy links their friends send them….

Dang, they really are intent on making you work. The horrible, horrible bastards. I wonder if TOR would help?

Is Hide My Ass blocked too? What you could try is to use the IP address of the site rather than its name.
