Websense: Classic or Dud?

Message Bookmarked

Back after a mini break, to find many sites are now on the "Websense restricted list" i.e. I can't get to them anymore. Among them is the freakytrigger front page, BBC news, NME news, and various record labels and DIlbert. I'm OK for ILX (at the moment), but one day I might be gone as a contributor.

That is always a possibility, and no doubt I'd pop in to say tarra or whatever, when it happens.

So, what can you not get to anymore? (never could do e-bay here, for example)

when my company merged with a similarly named one, one of the first things that the new evil IT director did was introduce Websense. I shouldn't worry about them blocking ilx tho.

er, is that in the Archers, MG?

(I have an aversion to the archers, as the theme music was my "bedtime" back when I was a weeun.)

FWIW, it's real! in Nothumberland.
