I may have found a way of getting around websense:
Anyone hear of httpS://www.megaproxy.com?
Well, TFproject.org would not let me sign in due to me not being a paying member of Megaproxy.
I began to think......http://www.megaproxy.com did not work but httpS://www.megaproxy.com did. So i tried httpS://www.tfproject.org, and voila, it worked!

P.S. TFProject was blocked for "Adult Content"

Nice work around dude.... This also depends on the way that WebSense is configured.... but nice work anyways...

Good catch. Sounds like your network admins didn't configure https to be redirected or blocked.

BTW, SSL is more processor intensive on the tfp server, so use sparingly.
