Our internet security at work has just been
violated by something called X-Stop .
If you try and enter any adult content site not that you
should be , you get an error message
"ACCESS DENIED
You have attempted to access information that is blocked from viewing by X-STOP.

Is there some way of bypassing this , I think this
program looks at the source code for words under
meta tags ?

No, there is no way to bypass this. (Or maybe there is, but i really doubt that. If your able to directly connect to the router(or gateway) (if there is one at first place). (This is what i did in school, but they didn't have a hardware firewall, just a proxy server )

Silly question , how do I directly connect to
the router or gateway ?

I don't know if it's possible but this is how you should do it.

At fisrt you need to know the ip.

Then fill this ip in in default gateway in network preferences

You could try a web based proxy of some sort, but I dunno if that would work. Here's an example for ya, but it is not supposed to be used for adult content, at least they ask you not to use it for that. But who knows, maybe they'll work for ya. Click the 'bypass url filter' link under the tile to take you to it.

Since this isn't 100% Windows Security, I'm going to move this post to Newbie Questions...
