Hackwars by Proxy

Hey everybody, I'm trying to find a way to actually play HW at work, the issue is my sys admin has blocked the site, however I'm using a proxy to surcumvent the block. The problem is I can't run the Java portion of the game. Ideas?

Hackwars by proxy

There are a few things you need to understand before you think about playing games at work.

1. First the firewall is there to STOP you doing exactly what your trying to do.
2. Installing unathorised software onto a company machine isnt exactly allowed by most companys.
3. Doing any of the above could result in you losing your job.

To be honest hackwars isnt really the place to be asking this sort of information. Normally when I have a question like this I call up my good friend google and I ask him what he thinks. Normally he tells me a million things but keeps the best at the top of his list. Oh and always check your companys handbook and your contract if ever in doubt.

Hope this helps :-)

HackWars at Work

Yeah, I have to agree with Davex on this one. Playing at work could get you into some trouble if you're not careful. That said, if you work at a place that really doesn't care if you play games or chat at work or you really don't care about your job, then by all means go ahead. I've never personally tried to proxy a java application, but I've been told that normal web proxies don't work (which makes sense since a web proxy is really setup to forward your browser connection through the proxy and java uses it's own socket connections separate from the browser). So I believe you need to setup a proxy to forward your java connections. Again, I've never tried to do this personally, but google should have some good info out there on how to do it.
