Any ideas on getting through a webblocker?

[cweirick]

Hi there-
just wondering if anyone had any ideas - I cannot get to pogo during day as there is a webblocker software program that thinks POGO is a gambling site, so it won't let me visit it - is there anyway around this via a backdoor or something? Or am I forever doomed as a POGO addict to not be able to play at all during the day ?? :(

Not sure if it will work but you can maybe try the link to the backdoors on this site ;)

At the top of this page under "Pogo Backdoors".

If it doesn't work, one of the ways would also be to change your proxies settings but I wouldn't mess with that unless you know what your doing and I don't think it's wise or advisable to do if you don't own the company you work at ! lol :P

Good luck  :)

Unless you can convince your administrator to change your personal settings, you are stuck.

Always Plan b.
Buy all the autos and run some of them while at work to get those badges.

I've been thinking aoub this all day, I can get to the site but am afraid to click a "play now" and install. If I can get there, I should be safe right? (sorry if I'm asking this everywhere)

It sort of depends on where you work, and how interested your IT people are in online usage.  Since I read you work for a small company and pogo doesn't suck much bandwidth you're probably ok.

That's just regarding getting caught.  I don't know if your company has a internet usage policy, and what could happen if you did get caught. I would reccomend you don't do it until you know the rules.

I would not recommend trying to circumvent your employers security measures. You could find yourself unemployed rather quickly.

im with homer on this but i did have to get by one at school a few times so try this exactly.

open your command or DOS prompt. type "ping www.wujie.net" and it will give you an ip address. go up to your address bar and type in that ip..it will take you to an all koren site...type in pogo.com and hit enter...it will take you directly to pogo and behind the wed blocker...or it should deprending on the security. so just try that and see.. let me know

but i dont recommnend it at work

Yes, I would imagine that attempting to do this at work just may quell that food and fuel and "meat with lunch" jones.
