    Accessing ClientCo banned sites through my website

    I have my own domain / website etc.

    Is there a way to run a search through my site that returns data to my ClientCo browser without hitting their firewall>

    For instance, I can't access BBC Sport pages at ClientCo, but I can access my own website. I have this image of setting up some sort of PCAnywhere through my domain so I can run searches using my firewall settings and not ClientCO's, but I don't know if it's possible.

    If it's possible, how would I approach it?

    Thanks in advance

    I would suggest it is very difficult depending on the proxy product they are using as all traffic via your site will still be routed through there firewall/proxy server once returned from your site

      LogMeIn gets past most clientco firewalls, remote onto your home PC...

        I use LogMeIn to do stuff like that through my home machine. Obviously it helps if logmein.com isn't blocked by Clientco though

          Aside from the debate about whether you should really be doing this.....

            I have set up my home system with LogMeIn so that I can access it from work. While I did it so that I can set off software builds and the like, I can browse from it and all the rest too.

            But your clientco is likely to be monitoring your logs. Spend too much time or clock up too much traffic with your own website and you might find that getting blocked.

              Rather than trying to get around ClientCos Internet and security policies, why not get a 3G dongle and use your co's laptop or use your smart/iphone?


              But yes, logmein would also work...

                Not everywhere allows 3G/mobiles to be used onsite

                At the end of the day though, is it worth the bother of trying to get around their policies?

                  If they're the sort of company to ban 3G/mobiles I certainly wouldn't try to get around their high(er) security firewalls and policies.

                  Their monitoring is usually sharper in that kind of envornment and you may find them prepared to do more than just walk you off the site...

                    If they don't allow mobiles then you'd almost certainly be walked off site for using LogMeIn, assuming it wasn't blocked.
