OMG!!! WebSense... I remember that, back in good ol' 2002, the year I finally graduated at Crotched Mountain!!! (http://www.crotchedmountain.org)
Crotched Mountain, starting in 2002 and thus likely still does, has WebSense installed on the LAN, but had NEVER blocked Emutalk.net, if that's what your bitching about.
................But I did find out that the domain name, divas.com is being scapegoated, WebSense was arbitrarily blocking divas.com!!! Divas.com was being arbitrarily blocked under the category, Sex. Despite being blocked under the category, Sex, divas.com don't have any pr0n and I didn't even recall seeing
divas!!!
http://divas.com
Update:
Divas.com appears to now be owned by someone else now, who just wants to set up some silly search engine page

Yeah I know, thanks to God it doesn't block ET, but is weird because it blocks Emulation64. Your example of the Divas site... It is sad

Well, the one you posted is different, because number one, divas.com is under the category, Entertainment and Crotched Mountain has a customized WebSense web site block notice page, including with the Crotched Mountain logo and thus the wording is also different.
Also, AFAIK, divas.com was being blocked under the category, Sex!
Here's what divas.com looks like:"Sorry about that, old chap." -Conker

I've never seen websense actually running anywhere, but a good way to circumvent this type of software (if its on the server, possibly not if its on the local machine and filters by words) is to get a proxy (real or web based). For example, www.pureprivacy.com (when its up) or, for something less likely blocked, babelfish.altavista.com . Hope this helps.

WebSense is LAN installation based!!! No way to get around it, unless you h4x0r the LAN

It really can't be bypassed?

WebSense has been known to falsely block some web sites.
For more information, if possible, please check out the web site, http://peacefire.org .
Warning, there's a high likelyhood that WebSense will block peacefire.org.
I saw peacefire.org being blocked before by other internet content filtering software."Sorry about that, old chap." -Conker

http://tilogy-group.tk is a good place to find info. Websense is a very holy system, you should all have ways past it. A php proxy similar to cgi-proxy is up at http://proxy2005.tk . Rumors tell me that they are working on a cgi proxy at some other URL. I'll post it when I find out.
