psst, www.your-freedom.net

Will reccomend that to them....

I'd be very careful with that, it could land them in serious trouble with their employer.

It uses a standard outgoing HTTPS connection, with a key which is changed on a very regular and frequent basis. Even if they suspect it is not standard web traffic (which in this case, it is) and even if they manage to decrypt some of the data, they will get a miniscule snapshot, not very useful to anyone.

If, as I suspect, his employer is using some sort of web proxy whose allowed URL lists are obtained from an external source, then very often as new websites get categorised, they become banned. The IT department hasn't specifically banned that website, but the people who manage the proxys database have categorised a bunch of previously uncategorised URLS. EG, blondepoker would be classed as a gambling website.

If it is company policy that such websites should not be browsed, not under any circumstances, then I'll take the point that it will land him in serious trouble if they happen to see him browsing it. Thats pretty much the only way of getting caught. Either that or they examine the machine and find the proxy circumventing tools installed.

It's much better to do everything yourself via a tech friendly open SSH port (22) and an always on machine outside the firewall (eg my home box) Standard practise for many in the IT industry these days. I don't browse anything without the use of my home proxy and a secure connection.

i might have to bring a few dozen tattie scones as no where in englandshire serves them with an all day breakfast

[The_Ant]

I'm up for it, sounds great....whooping blonde ass....at poker that is!  Not sure if i can persuade her indoors.  I will be coming up from Gloucestershire(Forest Of Dean) if anyone wants to pick me up/or needs a lift.

Thanks.

I can't make it as there is a birthday in the family that weekend and poker isn't allowed to get in the way of family stuff

We do get Tunnocks finest south of the border you know !  I've just scoffed one not 5 minutes ago

Owner, don't try to convince them. Leaving them to their own blissful ignorance is probably best. Anything produced up here "cannot be gotten in England". From Irn Bru to lorne sausages, tattie scones to 'plain' bread - I'm told England doesn't know what they are.

Silly fools.
