    @junipersky Well, now I’m even more confused.

    I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

        It always blows my mind when companies don’t have a split tunnel VPN. Like, do you enjoy having all your employees eating your bandwidth with netflix and youtube steaming all day?

            No but really, site-specific firewalls are notoriously arbitrary.

            One thing to look at is whether the site has a security certificate. Many places using an aresmush.com subdomain take advantage of the easy mode or 1click install options, which will set up HTTPS. Custom domains are more commonly on HTTP, which many browsers/VPNs will see as inherently fishy. Those are just trends though - there are custom domains with HTTPS and aresmush domains without. Depends on the game.

            Some VPNs also see websockets or unconventional ports as fishy.

            Others are just keyword based, so if it sees the word “GAME” in the site it may block it.

            Still annoying though.

              I’ve found that usually it is because GAME.aresmush is a subdomain so doesn’t flag as a new website whereas the custom URL takes a few weeks/month(s) for IT policies to allow the new website through.

              Mostly because when it happens to me I get a massive warning note from IT explaining why it was flagged.

                What on earth kind of system is that IT running? Preemptively blocking ALL websites you haven’t whitelisted is some next-level draconian weirdness.

                    I work for a US school district, and we wholly get our filtering from third-party vendors, which is apparently a big player in the educational space. Securly, if you’re curious. It’s public knowledge anyway. Anyway, they’re supposedly widely adopted, which means they don’t really have to fucking try but don’t get me started on the general grift of this market.

                    The surprising thing here is I haven’t run into a single game that we block. Of course we don’t block certain sites like Steam for specific reasons.

                    I too am baffled by the lack of split-tunnelling here, but the teams responsible for configuring and maintaining this stuff are simultaneously overworked and a little junior.

                    I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                    I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                    I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                      Sometimes I want an aging/middle aging while mushing thread because dealing with hormonal issues and mushing is sometimes an annoying combo and yet if I had a dollar for every time a male presenting phb answered every criticism no matter how gently given by a female presenting person with “what are you on the rag” in the 90s I wouldn’t be stressing about putting things kids through college now. So its also a bit of an irritant to even say something like that because my 20 year old self would smack me.

                      Also it was mushing that first made me realize I needed bifocals for real. (Wish I hadn’t resisted as I love them!)

                        I think it’s just an overcautious approach since after a month passes they aren’t blocked anymore.

                        Unfortunately I work in a business where people are happy to hand their passwords to Groooooogle and Fracebook.

                            Every. Fucking. Time. Plus the two factor verification. Which sucks for me because I don’t have my phone attached to me all the time (half my day is spent on a cart going from room to room and women pockets ~suck~ so I just can’t keep track of it!) so I am legit locked out sometimes.

                              @junipersky A friend of mine is part of a class action lawsuit with a former employer over usage of personal property for MFA.

                              We’ll see how it goes. Frankly, I don’t want work functionality on my personal device ever but I feel like modern workplaces let that trojan horse in a long time ago.

                                @Testament I customize laboratory information systems, and one of our clients has it so that we need 2FA constantly, even though we’re on their VPN. It is insanity inducing. Go to test code, pause to do authentication, crash from minor error, repeat.

                                @SpaceKhomeini Yeah, it’s bold of them to assume I can fit another 2FA application on my aging personal device.

                                  That I am super curious about how it will go! I get the need for two factor, but I hate the inconvenience.

                                  We aren’t locked down as tight as other places are. I was recently in a training with a teacher out east who couldn’t even share/accept a share for a Google doc outside her organization.

                                    @junipersky If you’re looking for cute teacher dresses with pockets (or just nerd clothing in general), check out https://svahausa.com/. They give teacher discounts and their pockets are (usually) pretty decent, though some styles have nicer pockets than others.

                                      Common peeve but I kinda wish there was a paradigm shift and live scenes stopped being such a focus on most games. I just can’t do three hour blocks anymore, for a lot of reasons, and it’s hard not to feel like I’m somehow being rude when people ask for them on channels and I can’t jump in.

                                        @Wizz Meanwhile a peeve of mine is how widespread asynch games are, and that I really don’t have the brainspace or capability of doing them well, or the ability for that kind of long-term focus on one scene.

                                        I think it just is going to come down to different places offering different scenes, and that’s okay.

                                          Which games are primarily asynch? 😮

                                          Or did you mean like, play by post forums and that kind of thing?
