- oarsinsync 10y agoPretty standard in any reasonably secure financial services org. All direct Internet access is blocked and prohibited, with all attempts to access the Internet (tcp/80, tcp/443) transparently proxied via Bluecoat/Websense/Forcepoint/etc proxies, which filter based on URL categorisation. WSS generally doesn't work in this kind of environment. Everything else is dropped. Any attempts to bypass filtering is a violation of IT policy and is sackable. Visiting sites that are blocked gets logged, doesn't generally get flagged up unless is a daily occurrence, and the first assumption is usually malware.
