Freeper Avoiding Sulla is stuck in Sunnyvale for two whole weeks, ensconsed at a Holiday Inn "forced" to use the computer in the common area. The corporate network administrator has clearly used NetNanny to block access to FreeRepublic.com, probably either upon customer complaint that it is some sort of "hate site" or because of a capricious leftist network administrator (yes, I told him his best bet was to complain to management).
Avoiding Sulla has requested that I post the damning evidence as well as request of the software cognizenti here at FR possible means of defeating the Nanny so that he can get his fix amid a hotbed of liberal unconsciousness.
FReegards, C_O.

Time to change hotels and inform the manager why. He is a consultant with the customer supplying the room.

Open minded my a$$. Seems to me they have that backwards; i.e., they close their minds...

Does NetNanny evaluate the page content, or just the web address? If it's just the web address, try:
http://209.157.64.200/
Not sure if it will work, but it's worth an attempt.

I bet the DUmies are freely accessible despite the rampant use of explicit sexual phrases and vulgarities.

Bummer
Wonder if DUmmie land will load?
How about trying a google search for FR and seeing if it will load that way or try a specific thread instead of the FR homepage?

Look up Virtual Private Networks. Establishing a VPN Server on your home computer may be overkill and unnecessarily complicated but when it comes down to it - using a VPN to bypass a local networks internet access restrictions is worth the effort.
As an added benefit all of your internet traffic will be encrypted. Only downside is that traffic will be funneled to you via your home computer, which may add to the lag.

No idea if this will work, but how about using one of those web sites that allow anonymous web surfing like, http://www.anonymizer.com/

It could be something that was not deliberate against FR, the admin may have just blocked all sites with the word "free" in them. It could just unintended consequences, that same way that some similar software blocked access to cancer sites, because it blocked all sites, where the word "breast" was mentioned.
If I were in that situation, I would ask the manager, if I could speak to the computer admin and go in with the assumption of an accidental blocking, and ask the computer admin, if he would be so kind, so as to unblock FreeRepublic. My guess is that he would succeed.
I don't know how he could get around it otherwise, because I think they would have the computer set up, so the guests don't have admin privileges and can't change the blocked sites.
To: ChefKeith
What about FreeDominion or the alternate Yahoo FR site.

Does the hotel allow DU?
If so; you got em!
To: longtermmemmory
I had that thought, asked him, and DU is not blocked.
