Solved: TSG is blocking!!

CrazyComputerMan · 11-Dec-2007, 02:24 AM #1

Thought if it is good idea to do something before Websense (website filter) blocks the entire website...

I got to get Websense sorted because they blocked 4 or more page in TSG because of "All Student"

I think it's best to sort this problem before Websense blocks the entrie site means losing socialing during college break and lunch-time. I havent got any deaf friends in college, well some but they on course...

Websense is installed in my college network.

Stall i contact Websense, or you can do it, Websense have placed forum on wrong place, it's supposed to be Message and Boards, where it blocks, but allow access for work only... let me find one for that..

It's on Ebuyer forum.. See the difference catalog.. Message and Boards...

All Student is like... Video, Games... but this is not really and it's just a forum...

What can i do next? Let you to sort out? or you want me to sort out (including e-mailing Websense and ask Network Administrator.

They say they get their information from "numerous sources" so I'm not sure how much categorizing they do themselves or if they just stole some bad information. Feel free to drop them a note and let me know if you get anywhere or find someone to talk to.

I'll email Websense regarding about TechGuy Forum and tell them TechGuy is for support forum and relaxing forum...

Feel free to CC me or give them my address, too... mike@techguy.org is probably the best one to use. Thanks!

Don't worry. The Saint may be considering taking action on the tapping foot problem.

Are you following AcaCandy around the forum?

I sent that message to Mike and Websense.

Dear Websense

I am writing to you about website filtering www.TechGuy.org website.

I has found out recently some of my subscribed thread has been blocked by WebSense because of "All Student"

But some of thread is not affecting any games, streaming media, download.

I have provided some of screen shot of website filtering TechGuy.
The link is http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?t=661053

I thought the message would appear as "Message Boards and Forums" but why "All Student"? I have tested your filtering system by connecting to EBuyer forum. (http://forums.ebuyer.com/forumdisplay.php) and appear as "Message Boards and Forums"

Feel welcome to ask me any question.

Addition information about TSG can be found at http://www.techguy.org/aboutus.html

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

I would assume it's your school network admin has made the filter, not WebSense. Perhaps they could add forums.techguy.org onto an allow list.

You are correct. CCM You need to contact your Schooll network Admin. This policy was set up by whoever is in charge of websense for your school. The last company I worked for used websense and all policies were set by the network admins.
