Websense

How does Websense work? How do sites get added to lists? At present YD's not effected, but I guess it's only a metter of time

This has happened to another dive site I use:
http://www.rebreatherworld.com/


Access to this site has been blocked because ...

The Websense category "Message Boards and Clubs" is filtered.

We have Surfcontrol and I also have a Vodafone 3G card.

Surfcontrol categorises sites and we subscribe to their lists.
Occasionally things go wrong, somone put some porn on the same server as our clubsite and Surfcontrol blocked the whole server, not just the offending site.

As admin, I have control of 'black' and 'white' lists as well as what happens to certain categories.

The reason I mention Vodafone id that on the 3G card, they block RBW occasionally, and then if you refresh, it lets you through.
I've not taken the adult restriction off of the card, but I think that it just demostrates the default action for an unknown page - i.e. it will deny it until it's checked.

We have Websense where I work and I can access RBW (well, the homepage at least, haven't tried to go deeper).

We administer websense. We block all the sites that stop you lot being so unproductive! Talk to your network guys in a sexy voice and ask nicely, or convince them that it's essential to your daily work and they will unblock.
