I got extremely lazy when I got the internet.
But, since I chose piss easy Uni degree (Commerce), it's not that detrimental to me.

Pessimistic filtering...  Kinda defeats the purpose of the internet, somewhat, if you ask me.
They may as well just download all the sites they allow, and not pay for a connection at all.


My last school was part of an internet filtering system by the Department of Education, Queensland.  Actually, it's surprisingly effective blacklist - I even tried some random proxy sites which are like not known, and they were blocked (proxy level block - the sites weren't actually scanned).
Of course, an SSH tunnel would've worked, though I never had an SSH server to do the trick.  I do now - I use it at Uni (they block all those file sharing sites like Sendspace - really annoying if you want to grab something).
I wish there was a Firefox Portable add-on which allows you to automatically connect through an SSH tunnel at startup - filling out Putty each time gets annoying...
