capoccia's Journal: Can’t post from work

I can no longer post from work. The comment system says:

"Sorry, but according to our tests, you are trying to post from an open HTTP proxy. Please close the proxy or ask your sysadmin or ISP to do so, because open proxies are used to spam web boards like this one.

"If you have questions, mention that your proxy is at 65.209.187.99 on port 80."

Right. Like I am going to tell the administrators at work that I am having problems trying to post on slashdot. I didn't even know slashdot had a problem with automated spamming. I've never seen any evidence of such a problem.

or wait for unread to be completed. brew-masters has an rss feed from the slash to get your fix.

i'm on dialup at home, so not really an option to leave an ssh server available all day. my employer is also using websense. i have no idea what it's tunnel-detecting capabilities are.
