How to bypass Websense Internet Filter at Office, School to Access Programming WebSites

Recently one of my readers emailed me that he can not access any .blogspot or .wordpress domain from his office because Websense is blocking them as personal blogs category. Since we techies, often relied on personal technical experience, tips shared by fellow developers for our work, this feels really annoying, but same time it's difficult to convince Websense guys or local Websense security team to not put such restriction. I was thinking about alternative and done some research on the internet, which tells me that you can bypass Websense filter at school or office by using proxy sites, but this idea doesn’t seem good to me, as they may contain some unwanted piece of crap, which is not good for anyone's computer. Also, if you are working for a decent size company, there is good chance that those proxy sites will also be blocked by Websense. This leaves no option at all to access any technical or programming blog, hosted on a free domain like .blogspot or .wordpress domain. That’s why some blogger prefers to have their own domain name than relying on blogger or WordPress.
