To BEBO or not to BEBO

[LOUD]

Just caught a few of our girls on BEBO yesterday.  They had found a proxy avoidence site called www.nikq.com.  



some of the stuff on that is not suitable for girls or boys aged 12-16. Any one else in other school's having problems with BEBO or other sites that we should be looking out for.



because in the end it will probably fall back on to the technicians, as these sites should be blocked.

I guess all you can do is get the proxy site filtered by mailing



filtering@c2kni.net



with the details

A few kids here have found a way through as well through google.  They have also been using emessenger to send messages during class.  I think the bebo link has been blocked now.



The link they use is http://www.google.co.uk/xhtml.

All you have to do is call the help desk quote the url of the website and ask for it to be filtered out at the next scheduled review

how often do they 'review' ?



If you mail them they'll block it almost immediately.

There's even a form for it .. see attached

iv had wild problems in the past with kids using proxy advoiders for webbasses messengers, every time me or c2k blocked a site they found a new one the next day but i think theyare running out cos the last 3-4 weeks have been dead on

so all we need to do  , to bypass the filter is      



simple enough then , surely then there is no way of filtering anything, if it is that easy?, making the internet fully accessible :shock:

[casper]

and the few links mentioned have already been blocked

Yea you can bypass the filter altogether if you know your stuff.  The kids here don't really bother though, either that or they are good at not getting caught.
