    Hello
    I have a problem with the internet at work.
    Recently, a "wise man" blocked our Internet.
    Unfortunately, I cannot view websites other than those defined in the settings.
    is there any way to bypass this problem?
    Is it possible to add pages from which I want to browse?

    after enabling any of the pages that are not listed in the defined list, the following message appears:

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Look on the Internet how to connect via proxy. Maybe it will help.

    If you know what program the "wise man" used to block the Internet, try removing it from the registry. If it doesn`t help, see if creating a new user will help. If this doesn`t help, maybe your router at work is blocked?

    If so, you can try to enter the Router, there should be a sticker on the Router with instructions on how to enter it, but the administrator could have changed the password and then only reset the router. But you may lose your job because of such operations :P so I don`t know if there`s any point in playing :D

    Haven`t you thought that all servers, routers and administrator accounts, especially in companies, are protected against unauthorized access?


    If your employer has blocked your Internet, that`s how it`s supposed to be

    There is a very simple way to bypass this protection. It works 99% of the time.

    You go to vtunnel.com and enter the address of the website you want to watch. There is no way around this. You can at least turn off https connections, but that`s like throwing the baby out with the bath water :)

    Best regards and enjoy browsing the websites thanks to an encrypted connection.

    PS To all those who claim that such workarounds are illegal etc:
    Most orders of this type are simply nonsense and an attempt to limit the employee`s freedom. As long as the employee performs his duties, there is no need to block his access to the network. Typically, such orders are introduced by administrators of the company network who are sick of "power". Unfortunately, the pettiness of such people is sometimes stunning.

    And it turns out that the matter is not that simple. First of all, it depends on what policy the company has adopted - blocking or sharing. In the first case, selected sites are blocked, and in the second case, everything is blocked except a few that employees can use. So much for the introduction. As for the website you provided, it will work provided it is not on the list of prohibited websites (it is for me). To sum up, you need to find a free proxy server site that is not on the blocked list and then go to the one you want from that site. This has an additional advantage because the logs only show the connection to the proxy and not the target website.

    As for admins who are sick of authority, it is true that there are such people, but admins often have their bosses who give orders and the admin just implements them, regardless of whether he likes the boss`s new vision or not.

    Hello
    Today I noticed at work that one of the people has a username
    and the router password.
    Only after logging in is unlimited access to the Internet possible.
    Unfortunately, this person is my manager and he probably won`t reveal the password for obvious reasons.

    aha, I was thinking about a slightly twisted solution to this problem,
    namely, is there any program that can record what is typed from the keyboard???
    because if so, I just need to lure the manager to my computer to get together
    He logged in because I have to check something and then the password will be cracked.

    best regards and thanks for your previous replies.

    Of course there is something like this:
    http://www.google.pl/search?source=ig&hl=pl&r...L247&=&q=keylogger&btnG=Szukaj+w+Google&meta=

    choose, there are quite a lot of them, but first read what they are and then you can safely use them on your computer and lure your boss :)
    However, I would like to remind you that this is an illegal activity and you risk your job wherever you work, so think carefully whether you really want to do it.

    Or maybe work at work... :-)

    The problem of cyberslacking is serious because there is no feeling that the company is being harmed. Personally, I have port 80 (www) open and our class sided. When I have complaints, I block everyone`s GG and don`t show off. If I want to block everything (which I am ready for), I do it on the edge router and all ports, so vtunnel, etc. will not work!

    @ tasia -> then explain to me why the Internet is needed in the company??
    Blocking everything doesn`t make sense.
    In my work, I base my work on a different assumption: as long as employees complete their assigned tasks on time and do not disturb others in performing their tasks, I do not block anything. However, if someone starts to overdo it and make it difficult for others (watching YouTube or joemonster all the time), I simply cut their bandwidth on the switch to 1 packet per sec. for not business related traffic. And that`s it.
    I think this approach is healthier and does not cause so many conflicts at work.

    However, if some bosses create labor camps instead of work, it is difficult to say and tricky.

    I understand blocking pornographic websites in the company, websites with illegal software, emulators, kazz or torrents. I`m all for it. As for social networking sites - my feelings are mixed. I tend to follow the rule that such things should be done from home. However, news websites, forums, Allegro, etc., if used in moderation - I am in favor of them. If not, CAR 1p/s and no problem.

    I know my approach is quite liberal, but there are limits.

    On the other hand, I don`t understand the fuss about reading e-mail correspondence via company mailboxes. Many consider it an invasion of privacy - I disagree. If it is a company mailbox, it is the property of the company and should not be used for private conversations. And if we use it (which is puzzling in the era of Gmail and other free mailboxes), it means that we agree that the administrator or boss will look through our mail.

    That`s all my production on this topic.

    Yes, I agree with you here, I don`t want to use the Internet at work for entertainment
    in the broad sense of the word and wasting "company" time, but sometimes I would just like to check my e-mail, possibly Allegro, but in such a way that it does not interfere with my work.

    Today my interview was a 5 because I am already guilty of blocking the Internet:
    our lovely girls from the shopping mall are possessed by the mania of "our class" and "poodle" and now everyone is suffering

    and as for the program that records characters entered from the keyboard, I will read a little and let you know how it goes

    He did it on purpose. Writing "wise man" in " " is insulting that person. This is her job and, as you can see, she did it very well.

    Also remember that since he was smart enough to do something like that, he probably logs all traffic.

    You provided too little information about the equipment (we don`t know its capabilities)
    Unfortunately, you will not tell us how traffic policies are configured.

    Oh, I`ll buy 10 liters of vodka for the person who claims that the blockade can be bypassed
    programs, some PROXY or other means :)

    Hello

    Well, unfortunately, I encountered such a story myself. I used to be an admin and was obliged to block certain websites, now, for a change, I work in another company and I am blocked (I can`t even read e-mail, except for the company e-mail). A little tip: you can get through the firewall if you get the IP address of the website you want to view, and then instead of www"something" you write IP, it usually works (I rarely use it - only as a last resort), but I would advise not to abuse it if it works, of course.

    Regards

    Hmm, as for passing Juniperk - it depends on the policy implemented on it. I can say the same from my side: Try to bypass network security with a Checkpoint NGX-R65 cluster with an IronPort loadbalancer. If the implemented policy is "deny any any any", it will not help.

    The discussion is pointless. The Internet in the company is used for business purposes and sometimes, if the employer is not paranoid, also for private purposes that do not conflict with the company`s security policy.

    @->adam1976 - your method won`t help much on hardware with packet inspection. In fact, the only sure way is to connect VNC, RDP, SSH to your own computer at home and use the Internet there. Of course, unless these options are also blocked.

    In my opinion, from the perspective of an IT specialist or administrator, I recommend:

    - devicelock system (locks CD, USB, everything we want) (of course, on the admin account or other specified account, everything works :) )
    - releasing only websites and services needed for a given person`s work.

    Is this rude to employees? I think not.

    "deny any any any" the best policy <- in my opinion the best policy :) But seriously, most of the new equipment, the branded, high-class ones, is practically impossible to miss :)

    and in my company`s office I made it quite simple... I invite every employee with their Iplus USB modem or other operator to use their private Internet, the company Internet is used for company tasks, too many problems are caused by full access to the Internet, computers are in internal network - no access to WWW and other pop3... cut off from the Internet. The only computer with access is where I can see it - everyone has access to use the Internet, but I limit it. If someone brings his own private internet - he does what he wants, the condition does not fail the work...
    I will add that messing up "your area", whether by reading newspapers or the Internet, ends up on the rug several times, then adios. No one has left the band for 3.5 years.

    It all depends on the specifics of the company. There are companies where the Internet is the basic working tool (e.g. advertising industry, webmastering, etc.). I can`t imagine blocking access to the network in such a company. Another issue is companies not related to IT activities in the strict sense (finance, administration, accounting - here you can limit access to several websites - e.g. legal forum, etc.). The third specificity are positions where the computer serves only as a controller for the equipment (e.g. CNC milling machines, printing stations), here the Internet should be blocked completely and "by default". Of course, everything depends on the approach of the company authorities and the security officer. If it is not against the company`s policy, I do not see any obstacles to employees using the Internet in the company.

    Hello
    finally the internet problem was solved, maybe only partially, but...
    the classic attitude of the manager in the customer`s shoes helped.
    and he himself stated that it was a hindrance to work.
    so I was already ready to bombard him with YES arguments

    To sum up, I am one of the few who now have an Internet password.
    it took place without any combination, and actually it could have started from there.
    thanks everyone for participating in the topic
    Regards
