Office Websense blocks TBHP.

U will need to install software ZAP in ur machine and connect the available proxyserver.
Zap can be downloaded
http://www.indexdata.dk/zap/
Warning: using ZAP may slow down the Firewall server.

Another alternative is to find the loop holes in the firewall. Sometimes the IT support leaves some connection reserved for full access which are used for their purpose or for high speed connectivity, find the ip adresses reserved and set your machines to that ip temporarily.

Try connecting to the IP address.

No offence Zappo but instead of going through all of this why don't you simply go to cyber cafe ?

hi everyone.
team-bhp is blocked in my office.
the error says "message boards and forum category".
can anyone help on this issue.
thanks in advance

Its a very stupid kind of work from the N/W Admin. In my office we work in TIBCO and the tibco community is blocked.
How ever I had same issue. The admin blocked the site from browsing but again after 2-3 months it got open automatically... Dont know what policy the admin guys had changed. For me it looks like the FORUM word in URL is the culprit. Can you try to open some other technical forum ?
May be
Java Forums
OTN Discussion Forums : Forum Home

I will be moving to another location, where I am expecting message forums & social networking sites to be banned. I plan to use my mobile for tbhp; however I am unable to zoom in/ expand font size by 'double clicking' on the touch screen. Should this be done some other way?
I am not very tech savvy, so appreciate all advice.

One of the best way to bypass blocks is using the help menu

Here is how you go about it.

open Worpad/ Notepad > click on the " help" tab > Click on " help Topics"

Now right click on the blue tab and click on " Jump to Url"

You get a pop up.

No, Still this is not working for some websites.
I have tried for FACEBOOK for example.
Check the below pics

Every connection from internal network goes through proxy, so there is no way we can bypass. But yes there are 2 ways:

1. Http/s Tunneling
2. Maskafying your network admin

govigov · 13th January 2011, 18:17

Wel, I have figures out that the word "forum" in the url is not the culprit. I am able to access TE forum but not Tbhp or bcmt. I am able to access most of the Tech forums, but none of the others. There are some ways to bypass this, but that would mean putting your job in jeopardy. Not worth the risk. I also have some wierd issue. TBHp is bloacked under my login. but it will work if use a friend's login. So in order to figure out what is different we got hold of a network guy and start looking at some stuff. (in active directory) It is the same through out for both my friend and me.

Now a days what i do is, we go to a training room and login using my friends system in some unused pc and then remote into the pc to get access to tbhp.

I think the office people know that once someone logs into T-BHP, he/she will not work and keep reading all the posts and reply to them.

They cannot take a chance.

Thats right SRK.
In my previous organization T-BHP was blocked with websense

Thank God! I hope there is a T-BHPian in our IT department in my present organization, it is left unblocked

camchennai · 6th April 2011, 00:57

Folks just wanted to share this information.

Websense blocks Team-BHP, however there is user level access to it. In my organization there are different level of access to different persons, so for many of colleagues its blocked however it works for me. It's not generic that always websense blocks team-bhp, it all depends upon the user level of access which is been provided by Admin.

Hope this clarifies, alternatively you can ask your networking admin to add team-bhp to websense white list of websites.

You are right camchennai.
Even in my previous organisation my super Boss had access to T-BHP.
