Freakin Army pisses me off yet again...

[kosmo]

Well I havent been able to get on AO for quite some time now. See, almost all of the internet here available to us in Korea is DSL. Up in Yongson, a post in Seoul, it is some guys job to sit up there and supervise all of the stuff that people are doing on their computers to make sure its all Army related, because this internet is the stuff everyone has at work. They saw fit to ban me from AO because it has forums, because I shouldnt be on it while Im at work. I know they specifically banned me because they called my signal officer with my IP address telling him what I was doing. So now, AO isnt available to anyone on the Army DSL in Korea. I wouldnt see that as too much of a problem if it were only limited to work. HOWEVER, I was not accessing it at work. This is the internet that is run through our barracks, our email labs, and our community centers. They saw fit to ban AO from everywhere that we had access to the internet. Only reason I can get on it now is that a month before I am scheduled to leave, they finally authorized a Korean company to come sell their cable internet services on post. But the point is, why on earth would you ban a site such as AO from all the community centers, barracks rooms with army dsl, etc.? Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this?

Perhaps they think you will leak secrets to all us AOers. More than likely however, they probly fear you living on AO like some of us tend to do.

Firewall trick. If it's good enough to slice past
the Great Firewall of China, then it's good enough
for you :)

Go to Google, click on their "language tools"
and in the "Translate a Web Page" choose German to English
and enter www.automags.org and select "Translate!"

This will proxy all sessions through google's site
so the firewall software doesn't deny it. This also
works using altavista's babelfish site.

At my high school, they block everything! I swear, they look at the history of every website I've been to and just go..

"block you, block you, block you, you're cool, block you I'm out"

(he he, anyone know what movie that was kinda borrowed from?)

Anyways, I found by going to https://www3.stday.com is like some kind of chinese website that has a website address bar about half way down the page. It gets me around "Bess" every time. But if I go to it too many times, they might catch on and block that too.
