Employer Firewall and Security Setting

**B5150** · 06-20-2008, 08:27 AM

I was just curious to see how many have this same trouble I have whenever they try to access the board at work. This is not the only board I have this problem on because I also represent NutraPlanet at MindAndMuscle and it happens there too.

The page you requested has been blocked because it contains a banned word. URL = http://anabolicminds.com/forum/worko...traplanet.html

It is not an entire block of the site. At times it blocks "new post" [that is technically a search] and most often it blocks reading a thread, whether I click on last post or go in directly either through the specific forum or from new post results.

The above quote is most often, actually, I believe always the reason provided, but in this case it is my own thread. It has actually block the default home page which is msn.com. I have no adminstrative right to change the setting...I tried.

Ironically, after I post this I may not be able to read it or any replies. Though this may all be a blessing in disguise

usually i cant read boards. AM works for me at work but sometimes it wont let me log in and i hate it when it doesnt. Only 3 sites i found that it lets me log into with no prob.

Yeah same here. Usually I cannot access forums. For some reason AM.com works, but BB.com and all the other ones seem to be screened out.

Im the guy that shuts down all the forums at work so AM stays !
You can always try using a proxy website to search through, that use to work but honestly I haven't tried it in a while so I don't know anymore.

I tried that. Worked for about 2 hours. The Big Brother (government) stopped it.

yea i had a big ass list of different proxy. then the USAF peeps found out about proxy servers and banned most of them. Til i found some more. Then they started threatening people that use proxy servers legal action. No one believe it til 2 people got in trouble. then it stop. Also only one pc at work lets me sign into AM. bekuz i guess i save the login as a cookie. lol or and muscle pharm forums work np for me!

You guys are lucky to be able to just surf the web at work. Isn't stuff like this against the rules at your jobs anyway?.

Your security settings are strict. Most corporations can't afford to get a virus on any network computer. You can try to add this site to your allowed list in the browser options.

Mozilla:
Tools->Options->Content

**B5150** · 06-27-2008, 11:23 PM

It is an OEM software with a password protected administrator option. It is not a option for the end user to set in Mozilla or IE...tried that
