accessing Chat from behind work Firewall

[Love2bhard]

from work, I can log in to Eccie. but when I click on chat, the app loads and then tries to connect.. but can't.
I know it's a port that is being blocked.
Any way to have it work via port 80?

or another solution that anyone knows about?

I don't have an answer for you, but I am guessing that your job does not mean much to you.
Or the addiction is too strong.

Lol yea!

I use eccie while I am at work, but I remote home to do it. They never see me going to it unless they are doing screen captures.

Are you willing to bet your job on this sense of privacy/security? Just because your current employer is not having IT check this type of use of company equipment does not mean-
1- that this is an acceptable use of company equipment and;
2- can not be traced/tracked by a fairly simple and inexpensive tracker that is either a "Screen Capture" or an IP address tracker.
NOTE- Windows Server has a built-in tracker for just this sort of thing.

It just means that your company has not seen fit to track this, presumably inappropriate at your company, use of company equipment and time.

Just wanted to throw in some food for thought

of course it's not allowed, but I'm pretty much going through a vpn so they only see my home IP's connection. Anything I do on my home machine ,via remoting, is being done over my home network.

I won't attempt to speak in general. The company I used to work for canned a bunch of folks for misuse of computers. The #1 was sex.

By canned, I mean fired.

To the OP. logging chat is trivial as a security analyst of which I am one. Either use an openVPN of which there are many free ones, or at least start searching for a new job because if they are blocking it then odds are they are logging it. Granted us security folks look for hackers before we look for security policy violations but still... play smarter.

vpn to your home base.. or use a tor ... or anonymous proxy. As an analyst I can identify a tor node use, or an anonymous proxy, but traffic is ssl or otherwise encrypted so its a lot more work for me/us.

cheers. OpenVPN > Tor > anonymous proxy >>>>>>>>what your doing

Or see if you guys host a guest wireless to connect to... we analysts never look at that shit. like ever
