Firewall!!!

[spamwise]

Ok, I realize that this is probably out of your hands, Rast, but I am now encountering a "technical issue" that is "preventing me from playing the game normally". It would be a stretch to call it a "bug" as it is, technically, "behaving as desired" (according to some :, but it's still frustrating.

A while back, rasteroid.net was blocked by my corporate firewall. I lamented. However, that was right around the time when you were having server problems, so you had listed the ip address in both BM and GoG. On a whim, I tried the ip address and, lo and behold, I could access both games from work. (And there was much rejoicing. ;D)

So, I log in this morning, open my usual "break time internet explorers" and get them going to thier sites when... SLAM... firewall message. Site filtered as GAMES. (Well, duh. )

So, I'm pretty sure nothing changed on your end (and I'm beginning to wonder if the firewall people just look at my site history every few months for new sites to block ) but I though I should share it and see if anyone has any thoughts and also issue this as an explaination for my sudden and drastic drop off in participation.

oh wow.. that's bum.

Maybe your company pays some service, which crawls around the web "tagging" sites, as appropriate (porn, games, off-topic, etc.)

They probably just found/caught up to my small-time site.

I should demand untagging! But you have to find out who it is first...

That sucks, maybe you can give anonymous proxy a try. Google it and check it out.

In fact, maybe multiproxy will work for you, try multiproxy.org/

No dice with multiproxy... flagged for "Proxy Avoidance" (Well, yeah, that was the point.)

Oh, and, Rast, if it helps, the message says "Blocked by Websense" so, that's who tagged you.
