How do I get around websense? - Dtrain323i - 03-19-2012
I'm in the hospital and I can't get on IRC.
I think they're block port 6667

Try using a web-based IRC client such as Mibbit. I think gamesurge may also have their own web client.

mibbit is blocked too. I'll check on gamesurge

It's possible that they block everything, route all http/https traffic into a content inspector.
You may find that they allow SSH traffic. Nab a copy of putty and see if you can connect to a shell, try brbuninstalling.com and see if you get a login prompt.
If you do, try bugging Ain for a shell account

Nope, no dice. Says connection refused. This is assuming I'm doing it right, which is not guaranteed.Â

Sounds like 6667 and ssh are both blocked. I doubt anything will work except for http, https, possibly ftp and pop.
You will need to find a friend with either a socks proxy or a ssh shell running on port 443 which you can connect through.
Generally, content inspectors cannot look into the encrypted traffic used in https (443) unless they are using a ssl man-in-the-middle 'attack'.
The web proxy at my work does this, which is one reason why our section pays for commercial internet and separate terminals.

Time to start bringing doughnuts for the IT guys. Mix it up with bagels now and then.

No clue but since you won't be on IRC, hope you get better and can leave the hospital soon.

use a proxy, or a server with a different port.
