Corporate Firewalls

So, it turns out that both XFArcade.com & GitHub.com are blocked by our corporate firewalls. Our local regional office has own our firewall rules which is not a problem (I'm one the developers) but all of our LAN traffic is routed through our parent corporations WAN. We control the LAN, corporate security controls the WAN.

So... for about 2/3 of the work week I am unable to access a bunch of stuff. :(
 
I have full access to the world. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out.
Thanks. There are days when it just sucks when I went to check something really fast and find myself blocked. Even if I'm just surfing XF.com and want to see a site that is being talked about it is annoying how many of them are being blocked because they are being categorized as "Games" by the WAN rules.
 
There are ways around them, but I wouldn't advise it. If your caught it could mean termination of employment.

Sorry to hear your job is blocking access. Do you not have access at home?
