MetaTalk

Our employer gives us an allocated amount of personal browsing time every day, which is filtered by WebMarshall. Metafilter is normally my prefered surfing choice, but WM must have picked up an excessive number of references to s-ex, pr0n, and other filth on the blue, (and also the Human Relations category of AskMefi kicks up the "Blocked: Pr0nography" page as well. Normally I'd just http://ip.address/ to work around that, but with metafilter that just redirects back to www.metafilter.com Lynx via telnet/ssh is painful at best, especially for image heavy links. Any functional suggestions? (asking the sysadmin to unblock a site flagged as pr0n is just tempting fate). DNS/domain work arounds? I'm prepared for all the "get back to work!" comments on this post too... It seems that even mild references to human anatomy send WebMarshal into a furious rampage blocking even some news sites. :-(
