How do I Allow MySpace on Sonicwall Cfs?

Using proxy sites to allow MySpace is accomplished swiftly.

Social networking websites like MySpace are often blocked by educational institutions and offices to increase productivity. In some instances, households also block MySpace to protect children from potential predators. To set these restrictions, network administrators and computer owners use filtering software such as SonicWALL CFS. However, if the need to bypass these restrictions arises, allowing access to MySpace can be accomplished by using proxy sites, which are websites that let you bypass any Internet filters by browsing the Internet through their server.

MySpace is a website that this proxy site works well with.
