And once again, IT is the harbinger of doom…

25 07 2007

Today, I think, I made a few enemies at work. How? 3 words. Websense Remote Filtering.

What does this mean? It means that no matter where you are, what connection you are using, etc on your company laptop, this service will poll the Websense policy server to see what you are and what you are not allowed to browse.

So the guys using company laptops, their 3G cards or phones, etc to bypass the proxy restrictions at work, have suddenly found themselves back where they began. Filtered and blocked.

I’ve been called everything from the Grim Reaper, to the Bastard Operator from Hell, to a Harbinger of Doom… Guess one has to just shrug it off as having to follow orders from above.
