OMG.. OP is using his company email id.. :o
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.
