I have been going on free republic when at work at my government job for 20 years. Freerepublic is my daily news source. Imagine my shock when I got a security pop up stating that CBP has denied access to the requested domain. this attempt has been recorded. DOMAIN: media.patriots.win
I will try to post the photo of the security notification/warning. Free Republic is banned from government networks.............
I agree. Unless you are on break or lunch. Otherwise you are stealing taxpayer money.
You use the boss’s computer, you follow the boss’s rules...
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy...
Do like I do, get yourself a Chrome notebook with a cellular modem. I am a IT admin and I work for a heavy network security business and most everything is locked down and recorded and I do not want them knowing what I follow...Problem solved.
DO NOT USE A GOVERNMENT COMPUTER FOR ANYTHING BUT GOVERNMENT BUSINESS!!!!!
They can and do monitor and log each and every site, every web page that you access that goes outside of your agency’s network. They have tools, such as Websense and Splunk, that not only block content that is in a restricted category, they log all content whether it is blocked or not.
If you need to do something personal, do it on your personal phone (not connected to the government network) or your own personal tablet/laptop connected using your own network (e.g, by setting your phone up as a hotspot).
Eventually you will regret it even if you just check your email or pay bills on your government computer. Trust me on this.
Or go to pornhub, like the rest of the drones.
Shouldn’t be FReeping on Company time and Company computers anyway. :-)
Just use your smartphone.

“recorded” == WARNED...
Lol!! I imagine there are many g employees who post away their shift time, here. On our dime!
Good advice, not just for government, but for private business, also.

The ones on the Left watch porn but I don’t think I want to know anything more about that.
As I recall, surfing on a GFE and especially on a .gov or .mil network isn’t an allowable practice. So, it should not be surprising that your IT folks blocked it.
No, patriots.win was banned.
It said so right in your popup.
Some thread linked to something on that site.
When did FR’s domain become media.patriots.win?
Maybe it’s media.patriots.win that’s blocked, therefore FR becomes blocked because I’m sure there’s links on FR to material at media.patriots.win?
If it was media.Patriots.win, it was probably a graphic would be my guess.
Not just gov network. I’ve worked for Prudential for 35 years and FR is blocked on our company network while they allow sites like Democrat Underground.
I and others have complained about it time and time again but Prudential, an uber, left wing, woke company, have done nothing
Wonder if the computers let his/her co-workers watch porn during lunch or whenever.
Their point was censoring of the right.
Ping.
