I just got internet setup in my place (KT/Olleh) and noticed they blocked a site I frequented back in the states. Anyone else experience this? If so, did you find a workaround? I'm using a Mac.

Google "free proxy" if you don' t need a secure connection (want to read DPRK stuff) or look at getting a vpn.

I think the internet works the same on a Mac.

Not all proxy/vpn software will run on a mac though.

It's a sports betting site I have an account with. Football season is just a couple of weeks away. Anyways, I tried a VPN as suggested and it worked (though I'll have to pay a little for it).

The page I get redirected to is this:

http://clean.internet.olleh.com/

That means it's being blocked by KT and not by the government. You can simply call them up and they will remove the "clean internet" filter.
