Dear @ll,
I would like to discuss a problem with Websense.
Websense permits you to filter the internet page using a DB.
We have in our company two user profiles; Basic user and
Administrative user.

Using the Administrator profile, it is simple enough to bybass
Websense by setting a proxy address in the internet browser option.
How can we prevent the Administrator profile from being able to do
this?

Thanks a lot and best regards...

Push websense checking down to your firewall, and set your firewall
to prohibit traffic to any destination port that you haven't configured
websense filtering on.

See for example,
