Wondering if anybody knows how to get around this so i can access the forbidden pages?

You need to find a site that will load the pages into a different frame inside the page so your machine isn't making the request to view the site.

One way of doing it is by going to babelfish and getting it to translate the site from something like Jap to English. Even if the sites in english it should still work.

If that fails try www.anonymouse.org, not sure if they blocked it yet.

try:http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com

replacing the url at the end with the site you wish to visit.

cheers guys thanks for this.

anonymouse is blocked and the google url didnt work.
does anyone have any other ideas? :(

Apparently if they haven't got their blocklist bang up to date you can use this (http://www.stupidcensorship.com/cgi-bin/nph-surf.cgi) web proxy, or there is a circumventor program (details & instructions here (http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/simple-circumventor-instructions.html) but no guarantees it's safe) you can use on your PC to get round it...
