26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Please help how i may be able to get around it! Any ideas? CBF It happened to me too. I managed to get around it via VPN.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 How does that work? CBF I have a VPN where I login and it opens up any blocked sites such as ESPN and now TBD forums. Interestingly enough the main TBD site is not blocked.
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Please help how i may be able to get around it! Any ideas? CBF Time to dust off the old resume. Edited March 18, 2016 by ChevyVanMiller
BringBackFergy Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I am making a motion that this thread be merged with the "People are Addicted to their Phones" thread. CBF is bound to lose his job in the next 48 hours.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 It wasnt blocked for the past 4 years and earlier this week i came back from lunch and it was blocked CBF
GG Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Yup, same thing on TSW & TBD. My guess is that SDS switched some server that's hitting a filter. Interestingly, Sabrespace & its forums aren't blocked. That's why I think it's on the TBD side.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 How about using a cellphone or tablet? Ya im using my cell now but i prefer the computer CBF
26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Yup, same thing on TSW & TBD. My guess is that SDS switched some server that's hitting a filter. Interestingly, Sabrespace & its forums aren't blocked. That's why I think it's on the TBD side. You're right! The TBD main site is now blocked in addition to the forums.
Saxum Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Same thing happened this week to me this week. Yup, same thing on TSW & TBD. My guess is that SDS switched some server that's hitting a filter. Interestingly, Sabrespace & its forums aren't blocked. That's why I think it's on the TBD side.
GG Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I understand that MS sent out a new security update this week that's causing a bit of havoc on remote access systems that need extra layers of authentication. Wonder if this has anything to do with it?
Jauronimo Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I would call my union rep, ASAP. Perhaps you can organize a strike or a walkout?
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) So who's the idiot that snuck their phone in and got fired? Thank them for posting and getting caught... :-P Honestly... It is probably the filter @ work. I have noticed certain threads are blocked from time to time. I always figured it was a filter and how TSW "presents" itself to that filter. I will just leave it at that. I guess you are done from work internet if they are filtering the word "forums" vs. other not so savory words... ...You could convince them that "forums" are needed... Lot of professional forums (not saying TSW isn't professional... Ha Ha) especially the ones that add nice advice to the trades (plumbing, electrical, etc...) Edited March 18, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois
Saxum Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 This used to happen at an old job when there was a separate domain for forums; TSW was blocked but TBD wasn't.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I think your right!! SDS please help! CBF I was gonna say that, but didn't want to be too forward... Thanks GG! Oh... You're... ;-) ;-P Edited March 18, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois
26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 This is the blocking site that I'm seeing: http://sitereview.bluecoat.com.
