Hello everybody!
I’m a student web developer currently working on my co-op term. Anyways the thing is, my company network blocks facebook and many other sites. I tried to use a proxy server to bypass them. but most proxy servers (such as bypasser.info) are painfully slow and doesn’t allow you to login or post. So I actually setup my home computer as a proxy server using apache 2 + mod_proxy. that is safe (of course, it’s my own computer) and allows access to all. I set up IE7 at my workplace following… IE -> tools -> Internet options -> connections -> LAN settins -> proxy server and entered my home computer’s ip and port 80. It works when i go to typical sites such as google and yahoo. i checked my ip at canyouseeme.org and my ip is shown as my home ip (which means it’s working). but the problem is when i go to facebook, it fails to load (but no error message, that is normally given by company filter). I wonder why that happens and how i can solve it. Thank you!!
o just so you know my company uses websense to filter sites and the ISP is….. i think it’s AT&T. The server is somewhere in the US (my workplace is in Canada).
