Well, I'd say it is OK if your company doesn't have it blocked.

That is between you and the place you work. But, I still support the proxy block.

Where my GF works, nothing is blocked really. But it is a university hospital that (I guess) uses the school's internet "site-blocking"

We recently just fired someone for that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

But, they were going regularly instead of doing work.

We also recently installed a system that only lets them (employees) access the programs we (the owners) went them to, and lets them go to 5 sites which are needed for work. We had one emplyee who was really pissey about it. When we asked her why it made any difference since everyone should be doing work, she sputtered and didn't know what to say. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

It was classic.

I know at Lowe's we didn't have any internet access at all. At times it would have come in handy to cross reference parts, search for things...wouldn't need access to ca.com, of course, but perhaps a seach engine. Do they have access to that? It would seem yahoo!/google would help with customer questions...perhaps.

They don't have access to any public website.

If they have a question they are supposed to call the manager on duty to find out the answer.

In our area the Wireless is complicated. Plus, we get mandates from the big "V" on what we are supposed to say and not say. We randomly get shopped and a couple of dealers in our area got fined because their employees told the secret shopper something things they shouldn't have.

99% of customer problems however are repeated things. Burnt up batteries, dropped phones, water damage, etc etc. So no google is needed.

Plus what you find on google in a quick search might not always be the truth.

There is no way to block proxies, you can setup a list to block 'known' proxies which are registered in a database but anyone what a computer can setup a proxy script and run it so there is no way to block such things and cover them all.

I'd still fire you...

But that is besides the point.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I figured this might be the answer.

How advanced of a computer knowledge do you have to have to do the proxy script and such?

You can do it with a cheap hosting account and a cheap proxy script such as Zelune http://www.zelune.net/news.htm

You just need to make sure your host allows it as many don't but if you just block your main domain name with a .htaccess login so anyone in the world can't get to it then they probably would not even notice.

If you are looking to just setup a proxy to the public again make sure your host will allow it.

You're bringing in over a Million in profit?

I guess I should ask. Is that Net or Gross?

I'm not looking to setup a proxy because I have no reason to.

But, I am wondering if just any joe smo scammer can set one up or if it takes a greater understanding of things.
