SSH tunneling/port forwarding to a proxy might work if they have access to it.  Also, we have a problem with AOL client 
browsers that can bypass Websense all together.

Subject: By passing surf control

Hello Group,


Does anyone have any information on how to by pass a web content filter? We use Surf Control to monitor and filter web 
content. However, I have one of my users who was able to by pass this. We tried using a proxy to by pass just for 
testing purposes but it did not work. I am still trying to figure out what other method he used to do so. If anyone has 
any information , it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kuda
