Getting past firewalls

**drinkfeckarse** · 16/10/2008, 2:57 PM

Hi Lads,

I'm trying to access my bebo site from work but IT have obviously got sick of me on it because now it comes up saying "BLOCKED BY NETGEAR FIREWALL".

I have ticked and unticked the box where it says "Use a proxy server for your LAN" on the Internet Options section on the control panel but no joy.

Anyone know how to get past this? I'm leaving tomorrow so I don't give a sh*t what they say

If you go to babelfish.yahoo.com and translate from Spanish (or whatever) to English and that should do the trick.

Thanks A Face. Seems to be working today but they've put a filter on it that allows you 5 minutes each time before you have to go through the filter again. Obviously keeping tabs on who's spending too much time on the Net. Good job it doesn't do it for this site though ha ha.

I'm guessing the site he wants is in English, and it doesn't matter what language you are translating from, just as long as it 'to English' ..... try it man, give it a go and you'll see. Thats was i used to get past firewalls in college and work before. Worth a shot if you're stuck.

ok im being thick then, but i dont understand what you are "translating", how can you translate a URL "www.google.com"

Spanish to english or whatever, its still "www.google.com"

yeah, you're being thick, it's not the URL that's being translated, it's the page itself
this is rte's front page translated from french to english on babelfish: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate...rUrl=Translate

sorry Paul, i worded it wrong. Its the webpages texts that gets translates it, you type in the url and babelfish will open it and the text within the <body> tag of the webpages code it will translate.
