Don't think so. I've been coming here from my school for three years now and it's not blocked. Though Fark.com got blocked pretty quickly after I arrived and was browsing it at work.

Or you can simply speak to the school's computer tech. The reason a site's popping up as blocked may be because the tech blocked a group of addresses. Explain to him what you're trying to access and he'll unblock it.

Can you please explain this??? I'm a tech dummy. My school is blocking godaddy.com and I need to access my account.

Thanks

a proxy site gives u a different ip address so that your school (or whatever institution) can't block it. i think that's how it works....

anyway, i use hidemyass.com. go there, and type in your web address in the address bar and you should be able to access it.

it's just annoying to have to use a proxy server to access the forums...

Me too. Thanks for the hidemyass.co.go link. I got through to godaddy, but I still couldn't access my account. They were refusing my Login Name/Number and Password. Perhaps they knew I was using a proxy server?????

Good luck.
