I’m sure we have that going on also, but most are too lazy/unconcerned to use a VPN. Since we aren’t currently blocking/filtering, they will pick the easiest road to what they want… ☺ I agree, a very interesting thread. Dan Daniel H.

Many of our students use free or paid VPN services to protect their interests (or should I say privacy?). So even if we as an institution decide to block porn sites (which we don't) they'd just VPN out and get to wherever they want to go using our bandwidth as the gateway, bypassing any blocks we would dare put in place. :) An interesting thread and thanks to all who posted.
