Anyone know how to get around Websense?

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

They claim that they are trying to reduce the SPAM as well as access to sites not of an ethical sense but they have went far beyond that and filtered any thing that would be of a personal nature.  They are not open to a list of sites as they say they would have to do that for everyone.  I hate IS people that flex their "little" muscle.  They can't fix the probelm so they bury it under something else.

Tell me more about VPN'ng to my home machine.  How?

whats their basis for installing said software? if it was just to stop spam, 
simply present them with a list of example web sites that you SHOULD be able 
to get to, but cant. that way they can fix their silly filters.

...then you could always vpn through your home machine to get unrestricted 
(but slower) access to anything on port 80 (www).
