My office installed a web blocker last year :mad: which hit http://forum.doom9.org like so:
Request denied by WatchGuard HTTP proxy.
Reason: one or more categories denied helper='WebBlocker.3 8-20' details='Hacking'
Method: GET
Host: forum.doom9.org
However for some reason I was able to get around it by using the IP address instead of the URL like so:
http://85.230.118.163/index.html
which worked all the time. Until I came back from hols yday and tried it as usual. I now get this response from Firefox:
BUG OFF!
Or use http://forum.doom9.org
Which is a tad harsh... Has something been done to doom9.org to stop my little circumvention? I assume there’s a reason for it. Shouldn’t it be ‘BOG OFF’ anyway?
Tks in advance anyone…
