As and already point out, that kind of page is generated by a gateway device and can only be changed by someone with administrative access to the network equipment. Attempts to bypass corporate controls without permission can breach policy and lead to disciplinary action.

For a productive request to your IT team, gather concrete diagnostic evidence first: a screenshot of the block page, the exact URL(s) you tried, the time(s) it happened, and whether other coworkers see the same behaviour. On the affected Windows machine, run these commands and save the output to show to IT:

ipconfig /all
nslookup target-domain.com
tracert target-domain.com

Those outputs help the network team confirm whether the block is happening at DNS, at the router, or inside a proxy/filter.

If you are speaking to the administrator (or are the admin), the places to check are the router/firewall web-filter or access-control lists, DNS filtering/blacklists, and any upstream content-filtering appliance or proxy. Request that IT review router logs and the filter/whitelist rules; if the exception is approved, IT can add the domain or category to an allowed list. Admins should always back up configuration and follow change-control procedures before altering filters.

If the sites are personal, use a personal device on a mobile network or home connection instead of company resources. Also note that older client operating systems can complicate support; IT may require an updated, supported workstation before approving exceptions.

You are blocked. Period. The Netgear server running on your gateway, router, whatever has been programmed to block email sites obviously. It isn't even going to forward your connection requests onto the net. Your boss requested it; only he can have it altered. And if u reprogrammed the server yourself they would know about it.

uU.... if i helped you on that i would get banned from here. You have to logon to the Netgear server from any one of the lan'd pc's, but it would be password protected for sure. I'm sorry. Check with your techie. Or the boss.
