> Hi folks. I have a situation that is really driving me crazy. If your friend is sufficiently technical there are numerous ways to circumvent almost any filter. If the filter works on URL-basis a public proxy could be used. If public proxies are blocked your friend might be able to run one himself, maybe on his ADSL-connected home computer. If the filter is (also) content-based the traffic could be somehow encrypted.
