Mirror link

by quant-master » Wed Aug 12, 2009 12:06 pm
Hi,

I am not able to open this forum in office. Generally forums have the practice of using mirror link so that its members be able to access from office as well. Does BTG has any of such kind? If yes provide me with the link and if no, I would suggest one. Generally forums prefer registering a mirror link with the name say xyzbank.com or something like that as these are sites that no one blocks :D

Thanks,
Quant-Master

Wow, I'm surprised that your office has blocked Beat The GMAT! At the moment we don't have a mirror link set up, but that is something worth investigating. If there are others with this same issue, please let me know, I'd love to learn the scope of this inconvenience.

Thanks for this heads up,

I'm super surprised to discover this! If your IT admin is reachable, please inform him about this. It must be a mistake. How BTG website be blocked? unless majority of your co-workers surf BTG content in office hours :lol: which is unlikely, isnt it?

Quick solution for this is 'surfing websites with proxy-browsers'.
Many offices block addictive websites such as YouTube, Orkut, MySpace, Facebook etc. & employees use "proxy websites"

the primary purpose of blocking is to restrict information(reports and files) going out of office. Since via forum that can be easily done so is that.
