Avsim Being Blocked by Websense

Featured Replies

Not sure if this is the correct forum but I just wanted to let you guys at Avsim know that the main site is being blocked by Websense"Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time. Reason: The Websense category "Social and Affiliation Organizations" is filtered. The category they have you under is obviously wrong.

That needs to be corrected by your company. My company also uses Websense and allows AVSIM. So, this is company specific, I believe. Plead with your IT manager to correct this.. (And don't spend too much time on AVSIM from work!) :)

But do Websense have it under the wrong category? What on earth are "Social and Affiliation Organizations" when they are at home? This has happened before with other websites where one day (during lunch!!) I can get in but the next I can't and the site shows as being blocked under xyz category. Then a little while later I can get in again. I think sometimes Websense screws its classifications up.
