My company uses SonicWALL and I can view your site just fine. Maybe there’s a custom administration list set to allow? I doubt it, but I’m here reading it right now :)

Damn… best bet imo is to either use a web proxy or SSH tunnel, should be fine since outbound SPI is usually wide open. In the more recent versions (4.0+) There is an HTTPS IP based web filter, still relatively buggy though.

I’d suggest Hack-a-day have a https version then just browse by IP (preferably a different public IP then the HTTP version that may not be cached in CFS).

Yeah… I have to work with these shitty things all day…

It was blocked at my school, I also used application level forwarding with putty (windoze computers, no permissions to install stuff). Freecap also worked well for tunnelling remote desktop/vnc out.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned openvpn. At my last job they used websense and while hackaday wasn’t blocked, many other sites were. I always use openvpn when on a public network, first my server doesn’t block any sites and secondly, it encrypts all my communications so no one can sniff them. Plus I can easily mount my nfs mount for my music. Proxy’s are nice but once openvpn is setup, I just have to click connect and I’m connected. (Using tunnelblick on my mac)

It can be a little tricky to setup the forwarding bits but fairly easy to setup if you have a linux box at home.

at my school it’s not blocked, as the IT guy here does this kind of stuff so he doesn’t care when he sees me on it, but for things like youtube or other stuff I have firefox installed on my flash drive and goto the library where for some reason he has not yet realized that external devices are allowed to run unknown programs without the admin pass… so he never set blocks that work for firefox!
also, when I tried accessing the C: drive via firefox, it wasn’t blocked either… as a prank I edited an .xml file for a program he uses for a class (some rocketrty program) and put parodies of teacher’s names and other schools as the names of the materials you build the rockets from, he had no idea how it was done, but he was assured that there was no vital breach in security (through an anonymous .txt file)

Actually, Delta Lloyd (a dutch insurer) had your site blacklisted, by websens, However, after a few days, I could enter this site anyway.

Websense blocks hackaday sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t really care anymore, I route all my web traffic through SSH back to my house.

Weird, no problems here. SonicWall Pro 4060 at work, and SOHO3 at home. I’ve never had a problem reaching hackaday from either.

Sonicwall is the WORST company I have ever had dealings with. A customer of mine ditched his old IT consultant in favor of hiring me. The old guy wouldn’t pony up the password for the Sonicwall backup device. The password recovery mechanism wasn’t working. Sonicwall sent a replacement device to the wrong address and UPS returned it as undeliverable. It’s been TWO YEARS now and they still won’t try to send another replacement!

No wonder they won’t listen to you. They don’t listen to anyone!
