Strictly I should not access this forum through a hospital network though it's not blocked - it might be though if my traffic shows up on the sysop's radar. Bangkok Toinight and Patttaya Thumbs are blocked. To get around this I use my server in Germany which I access through a Remote Desktop encrypted link. The traffic does not pass unencrypted through hospital or university networks so no one knows what I'm up to.
The surfing is also quicker because the server is on a high bandwidth commercial connection but viewing it via RD is sufficiently low bandwidth that even the Hospital net can cope easily.
