Websense censorware blocking PCA main page! FYI

[Snatchface]

Unfortunately I am presently battling to overcome my hospital's newly installed censorware app. Unfortunately its intended reason for implementation does not apply to me as I am essentially an independent contractor and paid on the basis of final product, so to speak...and not paid on an hourly basis. Turns out that the PCA main page is apparently on the filter list of the Websense software as a gaming site. I know this is not the case. Perhaps all that need to be done is to change your metatags, but you may just be on the list for good.

That being the case I'm interested to hear what solutions folks here might have for a workaround. I posed this question on the anandtech forums and subsequently got flamed and banned by the self-righteous pricks over there, but some people did secretly PM me with some good sounding suggestions that I have not been able to try out yet.

Got the same problem at my work. Haven't found a way around the websense filter yet because our connectivity is run through ISA Server. I'll let you know if I come up with a solution.

Well I have spoken to a few people at work...the unofficial networking gurus, and they have said that regular old proxy server switching won't work and they told me to use a service like either HTTP-Tunnel or Megaproxy, which are subscription proxy services. I haven't decided yet whether this is worth it to me. Either way PCA could probably get off the list by changing their metatags to get rid of the word "games."

I hate websense, they have it here at my high school. Its to make the lazy ass admin's jobs easier.

I'm sure Blade will take a look at that issue when he gets back - he's the only one with metatag access
