This is a list of categories that *can* be blocked. Shinhan 17:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC) There is no difference. Could someone who knows Websense separate blocked categories please. Is this correct? Theshibboleth 03:10, (UTC) There is nothing in text of article that makes distinction between categories that are blocked and those that are not. The way the article is phrased suggests that the link to Websense's categories is a link to all the categories blocked by Websense, but in reality I think those are categories in which all sites, blocked or not, are grouped.

Sciamachy 13:53, (UTC) Websense only blocks what your local network administrator wants to block.sooo.
That's going to make a lot of people happy. I see Livejournal is now banned under Personals and Dating. EinsteinBaby ( talk) 12:11, (UTC) Unlikely - Websense tends to serve up a sort of naughty naughty page rather than just blocking it. 209.232.147.200 18:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC) Reply-The administrators at your school can see what sites students visit. Can anyone verify whether this is a Websense block? I think it might just be a local block by the district but I'm not sure. This happens with Google video, Penny Arcade, Megatokyo (pretty much all webcomics), and numerous other areas. They don't deliver a notification of any kind, the page simply stops loading and the progress bar freezes. I'm at a school running Websense, and recently numerous pages that were never blocked before have stopped working. EstiRose 18:44, 16 April 2006 (UTC) Blocking without notice? I've taken out the Celestix, Inc link that was at the top of the page, because it seemed like spam/advertising. Hillhead15 09:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC) Possible spam I have added an image of Websense at work blocking so people see what happens when it happens. Explodicle 23:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC) Image EstiRose 05:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC) I've run across this too.
Feel free to pull the list from the link and add the subcategory in, though. TKarrde 00:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC) It is a WebSENSE sub-category, but I felt the list was big enough without putting every subcategory in (it's a subcategory of Information Technology, per the cited link). The Websense installed where I work filtered out citing that category ) Dunno where to add it, though. the mans always trying to keep us down -Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.202.76 ( talk) 16:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC) Proxy Avoidance DAMN YOU WEBSENSE!!! -Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.6.163.21 ( talk) 02:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC) I'm still thirteen but i can't resist the urge to. It's also so annoying how Websence blocks all "uncategorized" sites. EstiRose 17:04, 23 January 2006 (UTC) Ĭan I just add that the picture where amnesty is blocked is wrong on this school computer, where EVERYTHING is blocked, works. Currently my anti-censorware/anti-WebSENSE pages aren't being blocked,but that's probably a matter of time (plus, I didn't feel proper in adding them).
I should know - it locked off some of my favorite sites promoting a free internet (without any reason)! - Aussie Evil 17:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC) I did put in a request to get unblocked, which resulted in it being moved to Information Technology, a less-likely-to-be-blocked category. Dappergeek 00:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC) I think Websense is trying to stop all its opponents. On interesting thing that might want to be looked into, is providing critical links that are not blocked by websense. "This is due to the fact that the use of Websense violates the 1st Amendment." - Clearly POV and also misleading/inaccurate. i hate websense with every inch of my being. Rob Hell fucking yeah i hate this damn program, it doesnt even let me surf with firefox, i think it closes its ports or something -Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.55.222 ( talk) 05:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC) (various comments that had no section header)
