Zguy28 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 A little background, I'm a network admin on a corporate network of about 3000 people. Well we installed some reporting tools and wadda ya know, Myspace servers were the number 1 bandwidth hog, and #2, #3 and so on. Overall it was accounting for over 40% of total bandwidth just at our site alone and we have 4 T1 lines trunked together. So we blocked it. Its funny how PO'd people are now, but they won't call the helpdesk to complain. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I believe it. My assistant is on myspace all day long. Part of my new supervisor duties are to inform her that we know she's on there & she needs to stop. Her response? "Well, aren't you on your redskins thingy all day?" Damnit......

SkinsNumberOne Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Not when the IP addresses are blocked on our firewall! Yeah, there still is a way to get through these sorts of blocks, I think. * I used to work at a medium sized company that got purchased by a larger company, and then got purchased by a giant company. The giant company instituted these kinds of policies and all of a sudden a lot of the web was blocked. I've since moved on to a very small company. At a recent inter-company meeting, a rep of the other company there (a large one) said "They've blocked this site, I can't get to it" to which our Pres replied "What? What are you talking about?" Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We not only block on the firewall, but we use a product called Websense which blocks all traffic classified under "Personals and dating" as well as using an appliance called a Packet Shaper which prioritizes traffic and dumps prohibited packets of data.

drums and skins Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 If someone wants to get around it by using proxies and such, chances are they have some sort of admin privileges (unless their child/friend tells them how to circumvent the filters and such. Though, using my parents as an example...this would never happen because they're too inept to follow even slightly detailed computing instructions. ).
