Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: can't get certain websites

You would be rare indeed if that were the case. :)

I think that has to do with my ISP. They must keep a blacklist of some sort
and perhaps it is some mindless mistake that these legitimate sites are
there. I will contact them and see what I can do about it. My neighbour is
with a different ISP and he gets them, so it has nothing to do with the
country. Speaking of that, I recently saw a world map of internet
restrictions by country. We think that we are free but North America is
restricted. So is the UK. Australia is one level higher than us and China is
at the highest level of restriction, short of no internet at all. Not sure
that I like being just two notches below China. If you want no restrictions
then go to Venezuela. Who would have thought that they are less restricted
than Americans and Canadians? Go figure.
