Most proxy caches are jokes nowadays, anyway. In middle school, the local district used a Microsoft Proxy server that blocked all sites except a whitelist. When it took over 45 seconds to check a site against the whitelist (and by that time, all but a few students knew the one and only name and password, anyway). Then by High School, they moved to Bess from N2H2 and realized that giving teachers names and passwords was a mistake (it took 1 week to be as effective as the old proxy, which still worked anyway). Then they revoked all user accounts on the proxy servers and blocked external proxies, just in time for Terminal Services to allow people to remote to their home PC and browse at their leisure (no, port blocking never came to their mind, and no one mentioed it to them).

Would "unplug your cable" qualify as a "way to disable access"?In the same way the FCC allowed TV to so graciously implement the 'V-CHIP' technology?
Does anyone actually know anyone that has actually used the V-Chip? In the case of content filtering I do know of businesses and libraries that pretend to do it.
