It all has to do with which proxy you use and if there is filtering and by whom.  Most proxy 
filters allow the network admin to customize the error/warning message.  Usually a good admin will 
have  a link back to a document describing how to get a website/page reinstated if you have a valid 
use for the material.  For some reason, Altavista Babelfish and Google translations are blocked 
here as are some other online translation resources.  I have just found other, not so good/not so 
free translation engines.

If you have a valid, business use for a page or need some info off of it, most admins, if they have 
time will look at and release the page for viewing.  I have also had to just look at the google 
cache if I was in a hurry.  There are ways.   Sometimes, all it takes are for the ads on a page to 
get it blocked (e.g. porn ads).
