What is Websense?
« on: May 15, 2006 04:10 pm CDT »
For those of you either unable or too lazy to use a search engine...

Websense is an internet content blocking software system that is installed on the gateway/server computer of a network to control what people on your network are able to access.

It can block specific URL's, pages based on their word content, ad content, etc.

It effectively ruined the high-speed connection at my highschool in 1999 and made reasearch project impossible due to the content that was blocked by our school administrators.

Anyway... uhh...
Commercial site:
http://www.websense.com/global/en/
Dev Site:
http://www.websensesecuritylabs.com/

Content control makes Lidge Farkely something something...

What is your point, exactly?
« Last Edit: December 31, 1969 06:00 pm CST by Particle »
As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

My university filters porn.

The good thing I have to say about the filter is that it isnt too restrictive.  It is only once in awhile that I run into a blocked site (since I'm not a porn hound / cat abuse freak).  And if there is a site that is blocked that I want to go to (somethingawful is blocked, since it does have porn on it) then I just pull up a web proxy that isnt filtered by the 'sense.

Wouldn't it be possible to set up a VPN and just send all the traffic through the port that the websites use? (I've heard it is possible to do that kinda stuff so maybe that can help you)
