Dave, when they get it up and running will it block you from BOTL also?

 

[Angry Bill]

Probably, and there goes the fun at work!!

 

[rick12string]

Here it blocks just certain types of sites and starting Friday I won't be able to view YouTube, any steaming video or radio stations either.

I'm not sure, but that will suck for sure.

 

[RigilKent]

if you get blocked from here when will you post?

 

[rick12string]

Right now it just prevents me from seeing pictures and stuff that references other sites

 

[jmatkins]

That sucks.

Did they say it will cut off internet access leaving you only intranet?

It's going to depend on the settings your IT administrator sets. I have to deal with it here but luckly BOTL has been affected yet. The only thing that I've found that frustrates me is the threads with youtube videos or pics from other sites are blocked.

edit - The threads aren't blocked just the content, i.e. videos or pics.

They already removed Flash and Java, so you tube has been out for a while. We will still have some access, because seveal of our work applications are web based. I'm buddies with one of the IT guys so we'll see what I can talk him into.

So you couldn't see any links like you tube from the BOTL site?

I feel for you guys, I've had to deal with websense for the last 3-4 years now. It sucks!

Not the way my IT Admin has it set. All proxy sites are blocked.
