 |
|
So yesterday I talked to the computer teacher, who can stumble along in English suprising well, about all the useful websites the school's Net nanny suddenly started blocking. I gave him a list, at the top of which was youtube. He was nice enough to call the district educational office, and was told that youtube is a 'UCC adult' site, and therefor had to be blocked. Yes, there are indeed adult videos there. However, there are also educational, comedy, sport, etc. videos there just like on Naver, Daum, and any major Korean site that isn't blocked. The net nanny is just so hit and miss that it's impossible to plan anything on-line for class. Yesterday a site was working on my office computer and today I discovered in class that it's banned from our school's computers. When I enquired why I was told because it's a game site. Well yes, it's an English word-game site (arcademicskillbuilders.com). It's not like I'm spending class time playing Kartrider.
What gets me is that I could go to any classroom computer, bring up Naver, and find no shortage of porn, much of which is supposedly prohibitted in Korea. With foreign sites, however, they seem to deem it best just to ban everything in the interest of threats. This kind of foreign = dangerous / Korean = safe thinking, when it starts to affect what I can do in the classroom, just gets so bloody frustrating. |

I bring my own laptop to school and I plug it. No problems for me...ever.
The computer the school gave me to use is a Pentium 3 piece of crap. |

| Late night early morning Korean TV is way more explicit. Check out Naked and Funny. A Russian candid camera type show with lots of busty Russians ladies |

| I find it interesting that the Encyclopedia Britannica (among others) and Websters on-line dictionary are blocked because they have inappropriate words that are searchable (like breast). |

just access it or any other site your school bans with a proxy site.
like this one, for example
http://www.freeproxyserver.ca/
just type in the url and hit browse and enjoy all the por.....educational materials that you desire. no blockage |

If I start chaning the IPs on all the school computers won't someone start to get a bit upset and won't that slow them down even more than they already are? |

Some people spend their whole lives trying to avoid tense situations.

No, because instead of just getting the info directly from the banned site, you are pulling it through a safe secondary source that the blocker does not recognize.
It won't slow any other computers down, but you will likely experience some slowdown on whatever you're viewing since it is doubling the distance it takes to get to you.
In the case of youtube, it would result in the videos taking longer to load. That's all and if that's problem for you, just load the video during breaktime before class so that it's ready to show. |

They are web-based proxies, you don't need to change anything other than the URL (web address) to access them.
..................
I just think it's funny that they block stuff like u-tube, The Encyclopedia Britannica and Webster's dictionary but our K-teacher counterparts can spend the afternoon surfing k-porn and even many western porn sites (like adultfriendfinder).
Something wrong with that picture. |

Its frustrating. I can't access canoe.ca, or www.xe.com, www.dictionary.com, Even Gmail.com was blocked at one point in time.
They just block all english websites because English is the leading language on the Inet THUS all inapropriate content MUST be English. The nanny filters are not set up correctly to catch the content they just blanket English.
I just don't bother any more.
I just use secure.logmein.com Fixes everything. |

I was going to try that for my last class today ... only to walk in to find the computer missing. |
