Thread: Mygaming.co.za domain name blocked at work as it has the word "game" in it

  1. #1

    Default Mygaming.co.za domain name blocked at work as it has the word "game" in it

    Hey mods.
    Just a request ,
    i dont know if anyone else has this problem but due to the your domain,
    "mygaming.co.za" having the word "game" in the domain name , its blocked by my work proxy.
    I dont know if anyone else has this problem ?
    Any chance you guys could park a diffrent domain name so we could still access it ?
    like "myg.co.za" ?

    Obviously if im the only one having this problem it would be stupid of me to expect this,
    just putting it out there that if more of your readers might be in the same boat , it might be worth a look ?

    www.hidemyass.com > advanced settings > URL obfuscation: encrypted

    Feel free to Google for other anonymous proxies if "ass" is problematic as well

    If I use hide my ass they are going to firemyass.com
    Besides , I believe all proxy service sites is a direct violation of the corporate internet usage rules.
    Im looking for something that wont get me into deep doo doo.

    Not going to work with something decent like websense. Though I'm in upgraded group and can for now access mygaming at work

    Hm, assuming MyGaming owns the server it's on, someone could set the site to be the default website on the server. Going to http://41.203.21.137/ gives you the following message

    It works!

    which would seem to be a little test page on the default website

    problem is merely going to hidemyass.com will get me into trouble.
    I was even contemplating a vps solution but cant find any , I cant open any ports from work ,
    only have our work proxy to go through.

    you can use a site called www.hidemyass.com which is a web proxy and works well when bypassing.

    I dunno why but I found this really funny.

    On a side note, try hidemyass.com
