Hi Team
I am trying to overcome the blocked access in my office somehow as I think the
security restrictions have gone too far to carry on my daily activities. Here
is the scenario. I cannot access any email sites, IM sites, entertainment sites
from my office. The setup as far as I understood is that all traffic from the
local systems are being tunneled through a proxy server. I tried using various
methods to access websites & IM sites like anonymous proxy servers & few other
ways. But what I found was that no matter what, I don't seem to be able to
access any of the mail/IM sites. Just then I tried Firefox add-on sameplace
[xmpp] which was little complicated to set up as it had few dependencies & the
only thing that works for me now in gtalk. All the other Firefox addons like
gtalksidebar, meebo, etc failed. Certainly, they aren?t blocking
talk.google.com since any addon trying to connect to gtalk connects to
talk.google.com. Few doubts on my mind now are:
* Is there a way to direct http traffic over xmpp?
* How do I know if they are blocking it via ports?
* I would like you guys to guess the rule or setup they have to monitor or
block traffic.
For all those guys having the same problem, I am currently able to use
gmail/rediffmail/yahoomail via http://www.noblewebs.com/postbox/ & as mentioned ;
above, gtalk via sameplace firefox addon.
Regards
N Deepak.
