Maybe that's why they having it in Singapore, far away from any nuke in EU. Also their police can by as brutal as the Chicoms on protestors AND they have been using Dominion election software for their voting.
Why would anyone use a work computer connected to Activate Directory that can load proxy security certificates. Sophos blocking access is the least of the concerns. For the life of me I'll never understand why.people do personal stuff on company equipment, us Net Admins can view all the traffic in plain text. Logins, passwords, and GET and PUSH. Sigh....
Yes and no actually, but I doubt anyone would go far enough to worry with it. If you're employer allows port 3389 connections on publicly routable IP Addresses I wouldn't worry to much about anything their security is mid-tier at best. It's normally secured by adding a whitelist of IP Addresses for this protocol, so most home IPs are going to be blocked. Yes you could change the port but still same protocol. The main thing is the key being used to establish encryption for the session, again company proxy. In theory if I wanted to recompile the session from proxy records it's possible to see key strokes. I have not tested it since the big security update they pushed out, mainly I don't care. By I'm sure the possibility still exists. Feel free to setup Burp Proxy and test it over a Switch and check it for yourself.
They're UDP coded and they changed the internal encryption inside the packets -- I couldn't not look it up after I stated that. So yeah as along as you can get out of their network undetected you're good. I'll give you the '.win' on that one sir, this pede will concede... Only because you you didn't cheat to win.... But still RDP exposed on the public internet - yeah okay I've done it before on a VM inside the DMZ for remote access only. So again you win on that too....
Well, I mean, it's not like I'm a computer genius...it's just necessity. I'm on a client site, with my own laptop, and periodically need to access the data on my home server. So, I can RDP into my home server, copy any documents I need and either email them to myself, or FTP them. If I can't access my home server, I'm hosed.
Sophos works on a dedicated firewall. Think about how you have a router right? Traffic flows through it and then goes to your computer. Well a dedicated hardware firewall puts a physical device between the router and your computer (and the rest of the network) to block traffic based on certain patterns, or by rules like "what IP address is trying to access this specific part of our network". And since it's a dedicated piece of hardware and not software on a server you can't just shut it off without either hacking the firewall (logging into the IP internally with admin credentials and turning off protection) or, you know, disconnecting it from the network physically.
All I got is a similar sounding "sophist/sophistry" which generally has a negative modern connotation although the ancient Greeks had a different idea. Ah, looking at a dictionary entry for "sophist" shows this:
ORIGIN
mid 16th century: via Latin from Greek sophistēs, from sophizesthai ‘devise, become wise’, from sophos ‘wise’.
Well, we're getting "wise" to them, I'd say.
edit: also "sophistication/sophisticated" come from this origin.
It'd be a shame if people started posting bad reviews of sophos softwares everywhere.
Reviews, twitter, this website... would be a shame as it woild damahe their brand a lot... sales would fall and ultimately the marketing head would have to answer some tough questions.
Sophos is more known for its hardware then software. 90% of the clients for the Managed service provider (IT support for businesses) I work for use a sophos hardware firewall. You want to hurt sophos? Tell everyone their VPN service is shit/randomly cuts out/shortcut disappears. Or say that by default they leave ports open that hackers can use to gain remote access into a network. Both are true.
While it is shitty that they did this in the first place, I just wanted to point out that Sophos has more than just AV software, and actually works really good at one of my old jobs. They use an XG firewall and Intercept X subscription. Plus RED VPN boxes to connect offices around the nation back to the XG. Those are handy. And the way the AV software works with the firewall is cool. Say a known threat is detected on a computer from a bad email, the software recognizes a weird change in the way the OS is operating and sends the info to the firewall. The firewall then isolates that computer from the rest of the network (but still communicates with the firewall) while the software works on cleaning/fixing the issue. Once cleaned and confirmed, the software sends the OK back to the firewall, which opens up the computer to the rest of the network again. Happens in seconds. Twice this happened during my employment there. The fix was done before a ticket was created by the user.
One time though, it ran on a false positive and didn’t complete the process. So I had some manual work to do. That pissed me off.
Sophos participates with other corporations on constructing domain blocking lists. This domain was on a hate list. It was likely added by one or more persons in an IT dept within or at other corporations. SJWs in IT depts can submit domain names for blocking and add description for why. This website apparently irritated someones 3rd botched vaginal reconstruction surgery and they had to lash out and get revenge.
I use Brave on Verizon Android - no problem, w or w/o my VPN. Las Vegas Verizon direct contract. I hit this website when using Cox mobile hot spots as well. Regional, district issue? Reseller of Verizon? idk.
Sophos doesn’t actually block sites, they just provide a list. It’s up to the individual sysadmins if they want to block thedonald.win or not. Most will choose to keep it blocked, sadly. My work has.
Interestingly (barely) enough, our IT guy put in a Sophos firewall even though I asked for Meraki and only 1 time did it appear to be blocked and it was only for a split-second and then it let me in. I check TD.W about 50x a day so maybe somebody preemptively white-listed.
Unrelated, but now that voat.co has quit Chrome/Google NOW takes me to the website. For months they've blocked voat.co, only results in searches were to websites with stories about how voat was a horrible, racist, violent extremist right-wing terror site that should be shut down by the govt and how website such as this are examples of why the First Amendment is outdated, needs...amended. Now that voat closed shop all searches both in google's search bar and chrome's address bar go directly to the closed notice page. Google/chrome can fuck right off, their social justice warrior censorship in searches is disgusting and in fact it's harmful when there's a generation, or two, growing up not realizing the truth and facts that they're picking and choosing to suppress. I have two kids, ages 10 and 12, we've taught both how browsers and search engines can censor and how and when to use which ones as best we can discern. My kids will grow up being "woke" to logic, facts, objectivity, and having a value system of equality, NOT equity because equity requires racist acts to achieve and we're not about that. Anyway, thought it was fucking funny to see once voat goes down they remove the censor.
Anyone else feel like the US is at war. Not with guns, but fighting germ warfare. Not the first time China has poisoned people. Now a new version that is 5 times worse! The world leaders should not trust Xi. Nobody should.
Davos.
Now THATS place I would like to see nuked.
These globo homos are only there for two weeks each year. Now they seem to prefer Singapore for their evil meetings.
Maybe that's why they having it in Singapore, far away from any nuke in EU. Also their police can by as brutal as the Chicoms on protestors AND they have been using Dominion election software for their voting.
One letter too close to Davros for me, one of the villains in Doctor Woke.
J Roc the Vote and DVS is haaaard
Alright, I will admit it, I miss Corey and Trevor. Loved that show.

sophos is pronounced "soff-iss" like sophisticated. British company
What the fuck is Sophos anyway
Yeah are we sophos to know this?
Dad?
🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like VD
Worse. You can get rid of VD with many pills. Only the Red Pill for all of their employees will cure them...
I don't know the details, but essentially a corporate internet security provider.
They're used to mass-block specific content (NSFW, etc.), and provide anti-virus overwatch within a large-scale computer network.
I.e; They keep me from my memes when I'm at work
Why would anyone use a work computer connected to Activate Directory that can load proxy security certificates. Sophos blocking access is the least of the concerns.

I limit my personal use on my work laptop to checking the weather
Not if I connect to my home PC over an RDP tunnel you can't. Care to try again?
Yes and no actually, but I doubt anyone would go far enough to worry with it. If you're employer allows port 3389 connections on publicly routable IP Addresses I wouldn't worry to much about anything their security is mid-tier at best.

I don't have an employer, that's not how it works.
I can usually connect over RDP and they can't view my traffic in plain text.
They're UDP coded and they changed the internal encryption inside the packets -- I couldn't not look it up after I stated that. So yeah as along as you can get out of their network undetected you're good. I'll give you the '.win' on that one sir, this pede will concede... Only because you you didn't cheat to win....

You won’t on my network.
You can block the port, but I can still connect to my home PC. I can connect over my iphone if you block port 3389.
Yep...But muh farmville.

My friend, we were already the news but with that explanation, we are now Wikipedia!

Sophos sounds like a suppository.

I recall Sophistry as “false wisdom”
They matter. Especially for morale.
Sophos is a shit antivirus software. They make their bones bamboozling companies into buying their product which work less effectively than freeware.
100%. Total scam scum. I've known people who develop shit like that -- the world would've been a lot better without them in it.
Let's keep on going!
Let the tendies hit the FLOOOOORRRR
Been on thedonald all day. ALL DAY. ALL DAY! ALL DAY!!
Thanks for getting us unbanned pedes. Best mods in the world.
It'd be a shame if people started posting bad reviews of sophos softwares everywhere.
Reviews, twitter, this website... would be a shame as it woild damahe their brand a lot... sales would fall and ultimately the marketing head would have to answer some tough questions.
Would.be a shame so dont do it
The left has been using this tactic for years to get the right banned. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad strategy for us.

This feels so liberating. I love liberty

Fuck sophos. Don’t need your permission
This entire saga has shown one thing: the conservative movement needs independent systems at all levels: from banking, to credit card to social media.
Separate but equal doesn't work. Political affiliation needs to be a protected class for discrimination suits like race, religion, and gender.
Awesome stuff!
Also you kinda doxed yourself. Keep safe. I suggest a repost without your picture and name. But that’s up to you.
If you’ve already considered the issues sorry for bothering you. But the left is full of nasty individuals.
You can thank me, I’m sure it was MY email to them
I literally never even heard of Sophos until right now. Always used Kaspersky as my firewall.
What is Sophos?
its an english company that not only makes networking equipment but sucks giant cock only providing customer service 9a to 5p in your time zone.
Hmmmmmmmm, still don’t get it lol. Why are they even a topic on TDW?
Sophos participates with other corporations on constructing domain blocking lists. This domain was on a hate list.

But still blocked by tranny lovin' Sephora
we gotta keep doing this stuff, its working. The left has been doing this stuff for years, lets win this shit.
Sophos is just a bunch of open source stuff with a GUI over it.
no no no, they add dismissive customer service to that as well...
Will check my work tomorrow. Was blocked as of today using Sophos.
tell admin to add allow list anyway.
back up at work boys!
Have the apologized or do they want to lose customers?
Sophos doesn’t actually block sites, they just provide a list. It’s up to the individual sysadmins if they want to block thedonald.win or not. Most will choose to keep it blocked, sadly. My work has.
Lists, like communists.
Sophos socialists of anti-virus protection wares. We ain't gonna take it!
good now make them pay reparations
"God damn, I love this country."
Who the hell is Sophos, some shitty niche ISP?
Net Nanny software
Good work on all who acted to reverse this.
But let’s give these companies a way out - unlike the destructive left.
Set a goal... is it to reverse it? An apology statement? Reprimand a rogue employee activist?
Give them a way out, and make sure they tow the line. Pressure only until objective. Make them serve you.
Don’t make them think there is no way out.
Maybe I’m wrong though. Discuss.
Fuck Soyphos
This suppression means more now than ever - we are over the target.
did we mount their head on a pike at the perimeter of our domain?
WinningDOTwin
The Sophos Policy never got applied to my Cell Phone & I am sure I work for a fairly liberal company....
Interestingly (barely) enough, our IT guy put in a Sophos firewall even though I asked for Meraki and only 1 time did it appear to be blocked and it was only for a split-second and then it let me in. I check TD.W about 50x a day so maybe somebody preemptively white-listed.
Ex-lax?
too late - added to allow list about a year ago...
Yay?!?!?!??
Yes - We can modify oppression with truthful communications. Er, sometimes we can unblock .🤨
What does this mean?
Sophos sells firewalls that many businesses use to block access to sites. For instance, malware sites, news sites, etc.
Sophos classified Win as a malware site. Not any longer.
