Unfortunately I can no longer access PH at work....I think the internet polizei have put a stop to it.
I can still view certain foums via other routes, but I cannot post because the login is via PH.

Ted, someone mentioned that there might be a backdoor and that you might have been working on a worksafe alternative url (although I think this was some time ago). Is there anything I can try?

Cheers!

does anyone know how PH gets restricted?

Obviously no-one will know individual company techniques, however

I visit PH sometimes at work, so far two of the sites have been restricted- (although I had access before), and two have not,
I dont over do it, but what do normal IT people use to see what I am looking at? does it trigger something 'up there'
if I visit too often or for longer periods?

When you are connected through a proxy server, which seems to be the case, they can see every single site you have visited together with the exact time, etc.
They can have graphical stats of all user's surfing behaviour. I'd say it is even a bit more accurate than your browser's history.

Out of curiosity does PH appear on the black-lists that come with content filtering software or is it just spotted in the log by jumped-up IT technicians who specifically black-lists it?
