When I began my new occupation I'd a serious issue - apathy, there just wasn't enough function to do That doesn't seem too bad, but it was over a night shift and there was virtually no one else to talk to.
The job involved changing computer cassettes and discs onto a classic mainframe. It was the sort of machine that cost millions years ago, and nobody seemed to need to upgrade it. The sum of work varied but sometimes I would go for an hour or two without doing anything. It had been occasionally quite hard with the hum of the server room and air conditioner making it even more challenging to stay awake.
My manager wouldn't have minded me filling in the hours by surfing the internet maybe browsing Facebook but regrettably it absolutely was all blocked. This was to quit the day staff from squandering their days, but sadly it then applied to me also.
I discovered how it was blocked, it was through a small apparatus called a content filter which halted access to the Face novel URL and also looked inside the content for just about any petitions.
The trick I discovered was to work with a blend of methods, ...
... first you needed to use a proxy to relay your petition to Facebook or the blocked site. Second you had to use some form of encryption so that the content filter couldn't read the contents of your request. In this case it wouldn't see any mention of Face Book and therefore enable the request.
It works in pretty much exactly the same manner everywhere, even in these nations which are occasionally blocked from getting websites like Facebook. Actually on a nation grade the filtering is much less complex and simpler to evade.
When Turkey recently blocked access to Twitter, they did so by uncomplicated DNS poisoning. That means that when you request the internet protocol address of Twitter, you were given a fictitious one from the ISPs DNS servers, which rather routed you through to some Government written page. These blocks are really simple to avoid, all you need to do is use a different DNS server - something like OpenDNS. Or you can definitely avoid using others solve the addresses manually and DNS servers to some extent and pop in a hosts file. But unfortunately most corporate networks are marginally more complex than that.
anyway you'll be able to locate these forms of programs but unfortunately they are rather costly to operate so I didn't find any free types. Everything you want though is a proxy/VPN service which allows a level of encryption - it also needs to be swift as a small overhead is added by encryption.
