Punching Bag Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 This is the blocking site that I'm seeing: http://sitereview.bluecoat.com. Same site for me. Blame it on Bills marketing department - didn't they have some thugs called blue coats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 There are other forums i can access that have the word forums in it CBF Hmmm... I get the blocked thread from time to time, actually for my own good. No need to be a fly to a flame! LoL... I would say it is what GG brought up.

Punching Bag Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) It has to do with the 'Suspicious' rating now which it did not used to have. SuspiciousSites considered to have suspicious content and/or intent that poses an elevated security or privacy risk. This categorization is determined by analysis of web reputation factors. Also includes sites that are part of the Web and email spam ecosystem. If a site is determined to be clearly malicious or benign, it will be placed in a different category.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 CBF: Does the filter tell you what specific words. Is it "WebSense" filtering? Some will tell you what it is blocking? It has to do with the 'Suspicious' rating now which it did not used to have. When did this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 It was Tuesday afternoon for me. All was fine that morning. Same thing. Something must have changed for the site to get a Suspicious designation this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I would ask Beerball or BuffaloBill if there is a "back door" to get around the security...they are intimately familiar with how to sneak in via backdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Nothing changed on my end. Generally these things happen when something trips some algorithm somewhere and we get blacklisted on security subscription site that many companies pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised if discussions on backdoors and ways to get around NFL / DirectTV was part of "suspicious' rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Shouldn't you guys be working? /dev, from your IT Department J/k ;-P BTW... I am home... I love having a non-standard schedule (5 week rotation) and compressed work week (12 hour days)... I still haven't figured out the pattern! Keeps everbody guessing where I am posting from... Phone, work, the public library, parent's basement, etc... Who knows except the IP Address Police! :-O Edited March 18, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 That bluecoat site says the site is under review and they will update tomorrow. We will eventually get this fixed. So is this something that reaching out to Blue Coat can fix? I put in a request and it said we were already under review. I don't know which service in their dropdown menu has flagged us though. This happened once before in the early '00s I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 In general bluecoat.com is very unreliable at work; it constantly has connection failures nothing to do with security. This reminds me of something a security policy person told me; The most secure system is one not connected and not powered on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same, under ProxyClient (why not?). I recommend that a few other people do it too to get more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
