Proxy slave

[Steven]

Is it possible to have some kind of proxy server that acted as a slave to this main site for those whose access is blocked by work?

How do the site blocking programs work?

Is it based on the domain name?


If enough people want it I could se up a separate website that would allow people to read the latest posts. But they wouldn't be able to post.

But people can do that anyway by using one of the sites linked from www.proxy.org

I was just thinking out loud and had the idea of some kind of proxy, could be a server or a website, that required a login that was an adjunct to the main site. Then those that are blocked can point at that without any network admin getting any sniff that it is a forum or proxy. :icon_wink

When I've tried doing something similar in the past I've had problems getting it to work properly, something to do with the cookie being for the wrong domain, so for security reasons the forum software logs people off.
