Nice, so now by using this I have an NSFW site logged in my workplace's DNS log. Be careful if your employer checks such things.

- thisisandyok 10y agoThe one time I don't check the comments before reading the story...
- SaAtomic 10y agohuh. I didn't think of that.. that's kinda harsh.
- Infinitesimus 10y agoYep I also clicked first. It might need an "NSFW" tag in the title to warn other users. (Let's see how long it takes for Corporate IT to come yell at us)
- brazzledazzle 10y agoI get blocking it but I have to wonder about departments run like that. Do they really have nothing better to do?
- Declanomous 10y agoIt's the "see and be seen" method of working. Nobody knows you exist because everything is working? Better go yell at somebody. Everybody thinks you aren't working because something is broken? Better go yell at somebody.
- jschwartzi 10y agoWell, on the bright side I'll be able to see if our IT guy actually logs this stuff. It'll be fun explaining it.
- Capira 10y agoSorry, didn't think about that. Added a hint in the title.
- YourBoss 10y agoIf you had done your job instead of reading HN, there would be no problem!
- JackuB 10y ago100+ days old account, love it!
- posterboy 10y agowell, the name is fitting indeed
- wingerlang 10y agoOn the other hand, let's keep the novelty accounts to reddit (even there they are annoying though).
- joshmcmillan 10y agoMade the same mistake. "Maybe NSFW" isn't really clear – "makes a request to YouPorn" is probably more fitting.
- Declanomous 10y agoYeah, I thought "Well I only log on to corporate email and HN on this computer, so it's not going to drag up anything scandalous." Our IT department LOVES complaining about users using the network inappropriately, so I can look forward to a discussion with HR about this. I guess I should have checked the comments first.
- gtirloni 10y agoIf your workplace is creating any trouble for you because of a few unique hits to NSFW websites, better reevaluate where you work.
- hinkley 10y agoWithout the constant social pressure to mark content, this 'Few unique hits' would become a pattern of behavior. The system is working. Let it do its job.
- whamlastxmas 10y agoUse a VPN like the rest of the savvy slackers.
- cookiecaper 10y agoYes. If you do anything remotely personal on a work computer, use a VPN or some other type of encrypted tunnel (an SSH SOCKS tunnel + FoxyProxy makes a good poor man's VPN, and can usually be configured to allow seamless integration with internal resources going over the LAN and external going over the tunnel).
- Declanomous 10y agoI'm more likely to get in trouble for creating a VPN than I would be for accidentally sending a DNS request to YouPorn. Our IT department is insane about data security, and running traffic through another VPN will cause them to drop everything to harass you for as long as it takes you to prove that you weren't leaking sensitive information.
- whamlastxmas 10y agoSounds like you need to just browse on your phone, then. And if that's not an option, you should probably just not browse at work.
