I remember one instance where we got new software and it blocked Lowes.com for "nudity". I called IT and asked if they knew something on Lowes website that I didn't.Piney wrote:The Websence message indicated that the CO purchased and subscribes to that software. Its generally a local server that acts similar to a proxy. The Websence service categorizes web sites. The local administration decides what categories get blocked.
Its been a few years since I've run one, but I recall the service's review and categorization was pretty accurate.
It can be a little tricky. One administration decided to block the categories that included shopping and one that included financials (ie stocks, etc). The thought was to keep employees from wasting time, right ? That also blocked the accounting dept for accessing the firms bank accounts--missed a payroll.

Re: Jury duty today- Texas CHL Forum blocked
When I worked for a school this site was blocked due to weapons. I had to call I.T. and have them unblock the site. I doubt the courthouse intentionally blocked this site but rather the firewall flagged it because it falls into the firearm/weapon category.
