| WTF? Walk into (Public, High) school today, and these two sites seem firewalled or some such thing. Anyone else know what up? How to get around this? |

Youtube was banned in schools in Australia after a video of bullying was posted.
Perhaps Korea has followed suit.
I've still got it though. |

| google video works fine for me but youtube is now inaccessible. Too bad because there was some stuff on there that I used as teaching materials. |

How did you get them back? Did you use some sort of special software to crack the firewall? |

Nope, just clicked on the sites, and they now work. I hadn't even summoned the computer tech guy yet. |

| Unless you're using such sites as teaching tools, why can't you just use them at home? I fail to see the problem. |

| Never had a problem getting youtube or Google. Have had some other pretty innocuous sites not work for me though. |

What I hate is that some pc bangs block You Tube and My Space. 
They lose my business. |

| When foreign websites take too much control of the Korean population, and damage local power/control, it doesn't take much of a reason to get them banned. |
