Surfing at work -- A secret URL for the boards

[Workin_at_it]

Nice idea.

Also - to get around the in-house manager/IT guy censor, who wants to visit the high-hit sites, you could put the password at the entrance, behind a neutral looking entrance page.

One in, get to the good stuff...

my 2 cents

YES

That would be great. But for some reason I can't get to Elite from work in the first place.

you mean you can't get to the home page ? That could be a routing problem then

would save me the time of clearing the browser history every time I'm at work.

George:


Were you planning on simply creating another domain name that points to the same URL as the discussion board (Aka- An Alias Record in your DNS [Domain Name Server]) or are you planning on re-deploying the discussion board using an ASP (Active Server Page) based on the URL input?

Getting around your company's Firewall

The Company Firewall is the device that is usually used to filter IP Ports (used to connect services to programs, IE Port 80 is used for Web Access), and is also used for Stateful inspections (IE, the content of the request, such as the URL). Those of you who are having trouble access in site might try to ping the URL from the command line:

Ping www.elitefitness.com and take note of the IP address. Use this IP address to get to the site. Using this method will probably work on most firewall systems. Most firewalls check the first packet in the TCP connection and there after allow all others to go through after a connection is open. This is typically done for speed. If the Firewall checked every packet then it would slow down the system considerably. Thus is you get to the site, chances are you will be "IN" and can continue your session.

Try this, it may work.

Hope this helps.

but when a systems admin or boss goes to the URL, they will only see accounting information or financial information.

Just wondering, is there a hidden link or something, will everyone see the same thing except members would know a special link to click on? I am just curious.

I am the guy that checks the FW logs at my company and checks out what sites people are going to, but I only act on porn and stuff like streaming media that will affect our Internet performance.

Ok, we are working on it. Help me pick the URL. I liked Dexter's idea about computer tech support -- everyone needs that. Also, please post the "fake" info you want on the home page. Or for those of you that know html, feel free to lend a hand with the design. Let's make this a team effort. And to the member that asked, we cannot read your elitefitness.com email.
