Hey all I'm currently teaching in Incheon and have noticed today that all my gaming news websites have been blocked for ex. http://ign.com/ I'm getting really board at work with nothing to read.

Does anyone know the process for getting a site unblocked is it worth my time or should I just proxy my way around it?

Also I'm getting a different block something from the SECUI NXG blocking my news from this news site. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/

Same question as above.

Thanks in Advance

Easy to fix.
Go to a pc room with a usb
download UltraSurf
and put it onto the usb. Put it on your computer. I did it, and if I can do it, anyone can.

You should be aware that www.ign.com are just ign.com are probably not being treated in the same way. This could be deliberate or a simple omission on somebody's part.

Here is a successful traceroute from Busan to www.ign.com:

Essentially, ign.com takes a different path (more hops and is a lot slower) and is filtered by the server 64.14.0.122 right at the end (as indicated by the !X). Thus, entering ign.com will not result in a redirect to the correct site www.ign.com (as would occur with many sites). This is just probably temporary behaviour though.

See above to understand why this happens. The solution? Just use www.ign.com in case things do break.

Generally, it is preferable to avoid using fixed ips when browsing. Firstly, my route did no go through this ip address at any point. Second, hop 14 of the first traceroute indicates that ign is delivered over Akamai's CDN at particular ip address, which obviously could change as Akamai load-balances demand on its servers.
