If that's the case than regardless of how employee decides to access blocked service (directly or via Netvibes), it will be blocked. On the other hand, if the filtering done based on content source (by domain) than yeah, Netvibes becomes a backdoor. When it comes to me, I think it's important to abide by the rules of your employer. If you can't do that, than probably you should bet looking for another job. Hi Jody
