Mine:
- Digg.com
- Rapidshare.com
- Megaupload.com
- Cyworld
- Boingboing.net

At my GEPIK work place, attempting to connect to any of these websites results in redirection to Naver.

Boingboing doesn't work at my school either.

All Messenger services as well as dropbox are blocked as well. Two very useful services that I used in my job almost daily until the server upgrade that instituted all sorts of new restrictions. Rolling Eyes

You can speak with the net administrator at your school about sites blocked there. He can then remove the blocking once you show him that the site's okay.

dropbox works fine for me.

One strange thing the internet with my new laptop when running windows xp worked fine, but since I installed windows 7 it no longer works. It can't resolve ips or something

The Globe & Mail is blocked at my school, for some reason.

Newyorker.com is blocked. I found this out today when I tried to access the main site as well as an article there about the CEO of Whole Foods.
