weird sites your work proxy has blocked - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My work has a lot of blocked web sites. Some make sense, like internet radio (bandwidth hogging) sites, but some make little sense to me such as the following

video.google.com (youtube-style video search)
docs.google.com (online word documents)
spreadsheets.google.com (online spreadsheets)
snapfish.com (online photo printing)
winkflash.com (online photo printing)

But they don't have facebook.com nor youtube.com nor mail.google.com blocked... What are some of the sites that they have blocked at your office that leave you scratching your head?

Those sites are either potential security issues (docs, spreadsheets) or pornographic (video, photo).

The Army blocks and unblocks stuff all the time. Just depends on security at the time.

Our parent company implemented Websense for us, so we have no control of what's blocked. Although, Dell Support page runs extra slow because of the content filtering. We asked them to unblock it for us because we need to download drivers and stuff and they said no :(

Fortunately, our SonicWall bypass lets us get around Websense so we have liberty to any site

I'm on a military system and ocassionally, they block this site.
