How Do I Unblock Internet Sites by Websense?
With Websense a network administrator gains control of the network and protects it by blocking Internet sites that may pose malware, virus and spyware threats. This Internet filtering platform keeps users from accessing certain sites; however, the filters may sometimes block websites that shouldn't be restricted and are safe to look at. You can work around this issue using Web proxies, which are websites that connect you to any blocked site through their server, bypassing the network that is operating Websense.
