We set up a rule in our firewall which uses a software "server" component from a company called Websense. This is a subscription service which gets updated every night and uses categories which the admin can choose to activate for blocking. For example, The Sierra Club is blocked because it's considered an "activist" site.
Do you have any idea what your co. is using for firewall? Is it a software based setup or hardware based? And do they use some kind of subscription service? That's where I'd check.

I think it must have been something going on with the ISP. A traceroute threw out some weird shit- losing packets all over the place in the last three hops. I'm sure it had something to do with those dickwads. In other news, my provider at the house now offers T-1 speed for almost nothing. Giddyap!! -- jj, 08:25:51 02/22/02 Fri

What ISP do you use jj? I was thinking about satellite (because my area has no DSL or cable (yet)), but the FAP scared me away... -- V-Dawg, 08:34:01 02/22/02 Fri

At home I use Charter (who is a cable outfit). They offer an upgrade from 512K to 1500K for only about $20 a month over what I pay now. I've heard a lot of good things about the new satellite setups though. Definitely check into the satellite if you're in the boonies -- jj, 09:01:16 02/22/02 Fri
