The fact that this lovely proxy filters/. At least that's what I was experiencing the last couple of weeks. Asking the admin at my school didn't help a lot since BESS doesn't tell you why it blocks a certain site. CHeck out this link at http://www.peacefire.org/censorware/BESS/.
What really sucks is the fact that it won't let you go to any sites like www.geocites.com where people can get free webspace. That filters a big part of the WWW right from the beginning. Freemail sites are blocked too. However it doesn't filter SSL secured Webpages. I tried to use a site like www.anonymizer.com to surf but it's blocked too.
