So I phoned the helpdesk and enquired about why NWN wasn't running and similarly every other game I have to keep me entertained over the night shifts and indeed the day shifts and the reply was 'it's against company policy, we don't want the internet being used for that and we can't make exceptions'.

I've done a little bit of routing around and I can:

Torrent
Illegally download from rapidsearch
watch full video's on youtube
access pornsites
stream videos from various descrecion advised sites...

... but playing a game is excessive. :\ It makes no sense to me that the policy works this way but that's the way the world works! As a result i'll be going into town today and buying a pay as you go dongle instead of sleeping which, hopefully, will allow me access to games.

If you're getting what what i think you're getting, doesn't that cost an arm and a leg per month? O.o

I want you around as much as you wanna be here but I hope it doesn't bust your wallet.

Those things are always really limited on how much you can use them and have giant overrage charges and not to mention they are horrible for latencies.

There are still a few other options you can try: a vpn over a well known port could work or reverse port forwarding depending on how they are filtering data on their network.

I've purposely found one that fits the bill.

One off cost of £20.00, minimum top up of £10 (so £30), then pay £2.00 for one days internet and they give the next 30 free. :) I'm only here for 3 weeks and i earn more than enough money per 2 weeks to cover the £30 loss. I'm more than happy to do it as a one off and keep the dongle in case somewhere else decides that playing games is worse than paedophilia.


Like i say, they won't forward ports, they won't budge on what they've done. It's against their policy to let visitors play games for some reason or other which to me seems like micromanaging peoples free time, which seems a bit comunistical. :) I'll have to put up with shit latency for 3 weeks. No big deal.
