Websense suddenly blocking UKGSER

[B Murr]

HI

Up till today I could go and see UKGSER from my work PC. Pc packed up a couple of weeks ago and was returned today working. However when I went to UKGSER the websense filter blocked acess , labelling the site as being clubs/discussion forums or smmat like that. Has the site changed or have the IT bods changed my websense settings? Can the site run without the category being visible to websense?

Websense

Yes, websense has a catagory for duscussion forums and they have blocked you. However, I don't see why . I would simply ask the IT guys ( I work in IT security doing firewalls and IDS systems etc ) to be reasonable. They can also track who is going to what web sites and for how long, so as long as its used reasonably and not against company policy, they have no reason to block it as the site has no malicious content at all.
Hope that helps...otherwise, its soley home access
