Ask HN: Your job Removes your access to new.ycombinator.com, but not YCombinator.com?

Don't you think that if they find out you got around it they would not be too happy about it?

I usually just quickly peek at the RSS at work and visit the site at lunch break or at home, much safer this way (and I get less distracted).

A proxy?

Build your own ssh or ssl tunnel through another box you control?

The possibilities are endless.

My job's web proxy also just started blocking news.ycombinator.com. My guess is the "hacker" news got added to the filter software we use. I plan to appeal the block with IT. The blocking page tells me who to call to do this. I develop software for them, so the site is relevant to my work.

you wouldn't happen to work for NG?

SSH Tunnel is your best bet - you're a hacker, use your initiative.

Stop going to work.

have u tried tor / torify instead of socks5 ssh tunnel?
