Sonicwall blocks the Veg Blog
I got a note today from a friend that he can’t visit the Veg Blog from his job at a New Jersey school district because they use SonicWALL Content Filtering, which results in this when they try to load the site:
I tell ya! You never want to let those impressionable students access something as controversial as information about vegetarianism! I sent an e-mail to Sonicwall, so we’ll see if they take any action.
Just another reason why Internet filtering software is a total waste.

Actually you will need to contact the school district. Sonic Wall is hardware that the district bought and programed which sites to allow and which ones to block.
I’m not a vegetarian, but while searching for more information about censorware and blogs, I happened to notice your comment about being blocked by SonicWall.
