Yet it may be this filter is enabling your ability to access information if by it's existence you have access at all. Comments deriding Internet filters sometimes fail to consider why filters are installed. If for censorship, then I agree; the use of censorship filters may well restrict and undermine legitimate attempts to access information. However if a filter is installed for bandwidth management; to allow the highest number of users the most benefit from a physically finite resource then the filter becomes an enabler to the greatest number (albeit some high-bandwidth technologies like streaming video may be restricted). Many Internet 'filters' are in fact caching proxy servers designed to provide connectivity to more people than is otherwise possible on a given level of bandwidth. These filters are designed to share a limited resource in an equitable manner.
