Blocked at work

[Howie M]

I thought this was the off-topic forum and from the thread title, was going to recommend Metamucil, finding a little-used restroom, or an enema....

My work around for the occasional blocked site has been to email myself at work the URL, then open it from the email. Weird that it works. Otherwise I just use my phone.

Ha. The issue isn't lack of work on my end, but it is nice when you're eating lunch at your desk to catch up on some HQ reading!

Try this (sign up for their circumventor urls)

http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor

Or set up a circumventor yourself (google will help).

Sets up a URL you can access from work that you can surf from inside (and get around the blocking software).
Doesnt always work but worth a try.

I would not risk getting caught!

Obvious remedy is to change jobs!

Failing that, sometimes forums.baseballhq.com will escape a filter.

Or you can try surf tunnel or math tunnel among other similar anonymizers.

Given that you are blocked it's very likely that someone in IT was reviewing logs and decided to block based on the frequency of the traffic. You may want to consider this a silent warning to get to work, or you may want to go buy someone in IT a beer in hopes of changing their mind.

Get to work!

[RDeschain]

the only workaround I think you got is your smartphone/ipad using 3G or 4G.

I now use tapatalk for the forums, but dont have a great solution for the regular content.

[Bronx Bombers]

Are there any workarounds for me? Are there people in similar situations?

[bankerboy]

Yea, that happened to me 2 years ago. Amazingly frustrating.

[RAY@HQ]

Oh no!

We don't send content by email. Sorry.

[Bronx Bombers]

So, I have an unfortunate dilemma. Baseball HQ is blocked at my office due to the content. I know one solution to my problem is to use an iPad for access, but I don't always have my iPad with me.

Is there any way to have the daily content sent to me in e-mail format? Unfortunately the RSS content is blocked as well, so that's not an option.

Let me know if there are any other workarounds that you can think of.

Thanks.
