Title: Work blocked RHMT
Post by: dvst8r on July 28, 2009, 02:56:26 PM
So I was busy browsing rhmt this morning like always, and one minute it is there, the next minute it wouldn't load. I blackberry message Jay, he says its still up, I check with my blackberry it is still there. So I use the first proxy I can find, and then did a search as I knew complex had posted up a good one at one point.

Back in business! For a few moments there I was trying to picture what I was going to do with the normal 6hrs of boredom at work that rhmt normally soaks up.

mIRC, instant messengers, utorrent, and some good websites are blocked here, so I use SSH tunneling for the blocked ports so I can use any of the software, and for web browsing I just open a remote desktop.

Tunneling ftw:

SSH tunneling?

Everything else still works here other then a few select websites. I still have msn, other people in the office still have face book. ect... it is really lame, and I am going to have a meeting about it.

Be careful, just incase your IT dept. isn't a bunch of total idiots. Accessing proxies can make you look suspicious, but they might be lazy or just dumb.

I called a meeting with the two main owners and said WTF? Everyone swears they didn't touch anything, or have it changed. I even called the IT company and talked to our IT guy. Any other possibilities of why it would just stop working other then through a proxy?

I don't care if I look suspicious, They can come and look at what I am doing my door is always open, and I am at this place 10hrs a day. The only "higher" position in this company is to be an owner.

He isn't Mexican, and he has been doing quite well the last few weeks. He knows he is on thin ice though.

What happens when you try to browse to the page?  It's not blocked at my job for some reason...and the only reason it'd work on a proxy but not where you're at is either because it's being blocked or because of a DNS problem.

Try going to this:
http://216.45.56.92 (http://216.45.56.92)

If that works, it's a DNS problem.  If it doesn't work, your IT department or whoever is above them and handles the network has blocked it.

Someone has blocked it, and I am now on the war path.

Thanks Jorsher

When I try to browse it "this link appears to be broken" It works on my vpn side that connects us to the main branch, but it is so slow to surf from there.

Post by: Jorsher on July 28, 2009, 06:40:45 PM
Yeah that's the IP addy of RHMT, and I guess the host.

Before you go on a warpath try it from another PC just to be sure, but it sounds like whoever handles your local network blocked it.  Could be other things I'm sure, but...

The inlaws are in town Friday to Monday, and it sounds like we are going down to drumheller and silliness like that. I will be around after work though on Wednesday and Thursday.

Are you driving or flying? Who is coming with you?

Calgary is not a place you go to on purpose, its a place you end up in by accident in the middle of a drug induced haze. At least thats what I have been told.

Brett is a good friend, but there isn't any friend of mine good enough to travel to Calgary to visit :P

My computer is infected with Vista.  I suspect this to be the root cause.

Wes invented Vista, Bill Gates wanted to release 7 years ago but Wes told him not to.  It's all Wes' damn fault.

Steve Jobs co-conspired and infected vista with a virus so he could boost his sales of overpriced pretty-looking computers for starbucks sipping "artists" that try hard to be cool and different.

You mean the ones that lost anything that made them unique or more specifically suited to particular jobs when they switched over to Intel Windows processors?  At this point they are computers for idiots... they are easier to use because they only have one mouse button, you know.

Yeah, those!

No offense to all mac-users, I know not all are idiots, but that's what they're marketed to.

I am glad they use x86 procs instead of powerpc though, otherwise I would have needed to buy one of those overpriced computers to fuck with iPhone dev, and now I can just use vmware.

Meh.

There were significant and considerable strengths to the classic crApple hardware architecture compared to traditional Intel designs.  Now, it's just fucking retarded, and crApple owners are all idiots.

It is fixed. Supposedly the issue was our Edmonton and Red Deer locations were getting a new internet provider, as well as we just did a clean install on our one server. Now supposedly when they setup the ip's in the branch's they had some sort of ip conflict and blocked a section of ip address's till they had the time to sort out which one was causing the problem.

I personally think it is BS, and they were just caught off guard that I would raise hell about it, so they reversed it and made up this story. What is most disturbing to me, is not that they blocked it, but that everyone would lie about who made the call.  :-\
