Yeah you can update your status and it will show up as having a little phone next to it on your page so people know that you're facebooking on the move - l33t!

this site http://www.the-cloak.com will allow you to 'get round' your net restrictions by acting as a proxy. If you want to use sites that require you to login (like facebook) you will need to pay a small subscription.

HTH

Did anyone ever find a way round this (that didn't involve paying)?

The little buggers at York have only gone and blocked it!!

I run logmein on my home PC which is on, and then remotely connect to it. Slow, though, but the client network is really bad.

Annoying thing here is now telling me I can't get in without a proxy password - but it doesn't ask me to enter one!!! I know what it is, but can't enter it. And it worked yesterday.

Anyone know one, to get around the 'net restrictions in the office.

I'm starting to understand how Malvolio feels when he gets asked about IR35 et al.

There is a reason the client is running a web filter / restricting net access. Deliberatly circumventing it will get your contract terminated.

If they have done it properly then trying to use an external proxy will not work anyway. If it does and they are monitoring internet usage, and I would be, then high traffic to a single unknown or non-obvious IP will raise suspicion as well.

If you really need to get at facebook that badly get a web enabled PDA or similar and use that.

I have a medical problem. It's not my fault, I just have an addictive personality (and no work)

Also, it's only time blocked here - 8am to 6pm blocked.

Still no access to poker or games outside that time though.

And since I'm already on notice, maybe it's not that much of a risk.
