Alternative Secure Links for DU? Help me please! Skinner, somebody! [View All]

[Stand and Fight]

My employer has flipped! For some time since they switched our network both DU and AAR have been blocked. A fellow DUer and myself are going nuts to say the least, since we're in a red state we are surrounded by Right-Wing FReep-types.

Since we're now under a different domain, liberals like myself cannot get to this site or many other liberal sites. They have us behind what is called an "optimistic" firewall. (Interestingly enough, I'm able to get to Free Republic and Rush Limbaugh, but since I despise both of them, it does me no good.)

Does anyone here know of an alternative, secure link to get on DU? I know when we had server issues a few months back one was posted. I have used a proxy service, but even that is detectable. One of the techs came upstairs to my office the other day saying he'd received a message that my computer was acting strange. I heard him coming, so I erased my history and deleted all cookies. My proxy service is completely secure, but I have to log on. I'm just curious as to rather or not DU will work with a hypertext protocol connection that is secure. (httpS:// rather than http://)... So, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

PS: I should clarify. I'm able to get to the home page. It is the discussion forums that are prohibited because they have been categorized as "chat." Strange that. Isn't FR "chat"?

Edit again: Thank you xultar.
