Crispin,

The fact that companies filter web content and block access to
external web sites is more a legal and security compliance issue.
Trying to find a workaround will only land you a spot in your
company's jail.

If you're seriously interested in learning how web filtering and
policy enforcement work, I'd recommend you research Websense and their
products, services and offerings. That'd be a good start.

But if your only concern is learning 'how to hack', this forum is not
tailored specifically for that purpose -- and even it was, e-mail in
these forums are usually published and searchable on the Internet, so
if I knew how to cut corners, I wouldn't tell anyone unless they paid
me.

Thanks!
Alexander

Hi Group

Are there any other websites that provide detours or proxy into the Internet?

I am trying to help a friend who said that she couldn't go to certain
websites at work. They ban certain key words. For example, religious
words. If she were to do a search on YMCA, the company blocks the
search results because its a religious-related word.

I tried to recommend websites like:
http://proxify.com/ and
http://www.anonymizer.com/

It didn't work, as the company already blocked out those sites. I
remember there are quite a few. As I didn't save my favourite when I
formatted my PC. I can't remember which are those sites.

I tried google research already. But not much luck. Any pointers would
be very much appreciated.

Regards
Crispin
