as thats my topic on vzi....

I decided to join there today as VZi with its malware warnings have now been blacklisted on the webfilters at work, so I can't browse it anymore.


So, in short, VZi is not a bad site but, unknown to the new owners, had a malicious ad running. They took a while to sort it out which gave the search engines and webfitlers enough time to update their database and blacklist VZi as a malicious site.

So, when I am at work, the firewall filter blocks VZi.

I have two network connections available, wired and wireless.

The wireless connection is fairly open and doesn't have the firewall filter on it. This means I can access VZi as usual. However, as it goes straight out to the internet, it is not connected to work's servers, which means I cannot access emails and files etc.

The wired connection has the firewall on it, so I can access emails and files on the server, but I cannot access VZi.

Without having to constantly switch from wired to wireless depending on what I am doing and baring in-mind, proxies are not really an option (most are blocked anyway), is there a way of forcing Chrome to use the open wireless connection and let the rest of the programs use the secure wired connection?

Thank you for asking, I followed your link being .co.uk and it worked (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

The /index.php seems to make the difference as .co.uk on it's own will defailt back to .com.

i'm sure you can do what you want by traffic blocking etc, but if you got a much easier solution then job done :)
