Just put it someplace else on the server... it would depend on if they are blocking everything to your domain, or just a specific root url.

Other than the domain, that url was really nothing more than the path location of the install on the server.

The entire domain is blocked.

Well, that's why I asked. I have Websense here, and I can get to your site still. That means one of two things: my company hasn't gotten the latest updates from Websense database or 2) Chad's company has been watching traffic and manually added the Stingray Purgatory to their blocked list.

edit: Or option 3, my company is not blocking that particular category. Chad - what does the error message say? Blocked because of....?

Stingray:
It says "Personal websites are not allowed" for me.

Lame. Damn IT security freaks....

I guess using Tiny URL prob won't get around the problem.

Only other thing would be to use a proxy service like tor.eff.org, that unless Proxy Avoidance sites are blocked as well.....

Or do like I do - ssh back to my home computer then surf the web from there.
