Myspace and twitter is being blocked by k9 web protection and i want to get on it but cant.how do i bypass the k9 web protection
Well have you installed K9 or your parents? :D.
If they did I m sorry to say that its better for your own good ha ha.
If not you can configure it to allow myspace and twitter.
But still I will not tell you how to bypass since I don't know whether you are a kid.
If you have not already logged in, enter your administrator password at the
prompt and click OK.
From the Setup menu, click Web Categories to Block. By unticking the tick for social networking (if it is ticked) you will be allowed to access any social network. Save the configurations.
Click URL key words
Check whether those URLs have been blocked (full url and / or by words.
You can clear the saved settings by allowing them.
There is another way of unblocking the site.
To override a blocked Web site:
1. On the Category Blocked page, choose an option under Allow This Site.
The following figure shows an example.
2. From the Allow access to list, click one of the following options:
• for 5 minutes to allow temporary access to this site for the next five
minutes.
• for 15 minutes to allow temporary access to this site for the next 15
minutes.
• for 30 minutes to allow temporary access to this site for the next 30
minutes.
• for 60 minutes to allow temporary access to this site for the next 60
minutes.
• permanently to always allow access to this site.
If you choose this option, one of the following happens:
• If the Web site was blocked because of its category, the Web site is placed in the always allow list
• If the Web site was blocked because it was in the always block list,
the Web site is removed from the always block list.
3. Click Allow This Site.
4. You are required to enter your K9 Web Protection administrator password
to confirm the action.
This is how the "Block access by time of the day" works.
K9 Web Protection enables you to restrict the time of day users can access Web
sites. If there are specific times when you do or do not want your family accessing
the Web, this feature assists you in enforcing that policy.
To restrict Web browsing access times:
1. Start K9 Web Protection
2. From the top menu bar, click Setup.
3. If you have not already logged in, enter your administrator password at the
prompt and click OK.
4. From the Setup menu, click Time Restrictions.
You have the following options:
Unrestricted
NightGuard
Custom.
Just select the Unrestricted or modify Custom to re adjust the settings.
Adding a web site exception (Advanced). This is how its done.
You can create exceptions for any of the following reasons:
? Web sites that do not belong to any category
? Web sites you know your children access frequently, so you can make sure
you enforce the appropriate action (allow or block)
? To allow access to specific Web sites that belong to a category that you otherwise want to block
To set up Web site exceptions:
1. Start K9 Web Protection
2. From the top menu bar, click Setup.
3. If you have not already logged in, enter your administrator password at the
prompt and click OK.
4. From the Setup menu, click Web Site Exceptions.
Then exceptions can be added.
To remove the exception just remove the setting or add it to Always Allow.
To override a block and access blocked Web pages, you must enter the administrator password you configured when you installed K9 Web Protection.
Special cases.
If a Web page was blocked because it was on the always block list or because it is classified in a category you chose to block, you can ask Blue Coat to review
the Web site’s rating as follows:
? You can request Blue Coat associate the Web site with more categories
? You can request Blue Coat reclassify the Web site, if you believe the categorization is incorrect.
Enjoy!
