Cmon guys, you know this is all part of the plan for censored internet. IE.....the government provides free wifi, but without all the fun things that we all love about the internet......ESTABLISHMENT!!!!

This is why I always tell people to use TOR the onion router, it slows you down on public connections, but no one can figure out what you are doing.

Fairly common practice, I'd guess. Especially for public areas. We have the same restrictions here at work, but fortunately for me I'm the IT guy so the rules do not apply to me.
