Phoenix Network Forums

I just found out today that the good folks at WebSense find it needed to block Phoenix Network because of such nefarious activities such as "Webhosting". I laud this as a great thing, as it means we at least are getting noticed. However I do find it funny that we currently don't even have any functioning webhosting :/



We apologize if your school/organzition uses Websense and you are not able to access Phoenix from school.

Start studying

Huh what a loosers :-/

You are wrong, you are offering webhosting. Just because your project "web hosting" is not avaible doesn't make the web hosting capabities of the shell accounts meaningless .
So if their policy is to restrict access to any free web hosting provider, the ban/active restriction is correct.

PS: even if you disabled the http daemon, you could still call it webhosting. Just because you cannot host under port 1000 doesn't make it not webhosting, if a http protocol based sevrer application is running. Even though I wouldn't count stats.mod from eggdrop as "web hosting", but it shows that you allow "http servers" outside from port 80 ^-^.

I know that, but I find it funny how Websense even knows about us. Looks like we are getting some popularity

nah, they don't know about us, they just filter on content, such as if it contains a certain term, it may block it

Maybe they know ShellsNet and just copy the links from the stats page or google every few weeks on certain keywords and manually visite new hits to confirm they are web hoster or something like that ^-^.
