Title: RE: [Fed-Talk] Government Blocking of Mac.com

I ran into someone from Net Control, in the hall, on Friday, and asked him who does the blocking, and he said that it is mostly TNOSC but that they can locally block or un-block as well.  He thought it unlikely that they were locally adding mac.com at Fort Monmouth, but suggested I put in an official request to look into it.  I did that, and was asked for more information before it was passed on to someone who would look into it.  So far I haven't received a response, but I expect that I will shortly.  Perhaps some local DOIMS take a more active role in this than others.  Also the person I spoke to, while in the department that handles it, was not directly involved in firewall issues (maybe those guys don't come out in the hall much), so he wasn't absolutely authoritative in his answer.

Interesting...we are told it's (mostly) controlled by local DOIM.  Now...what entity provides the software/master block list to local DOIM amy be another story :)

I've noticed some sites are not blocked during specific hours, like 12-1, or 5p-7a, but are blocked during 'normal' work hours.

As I understand it, the blocking we experience at Fort Monmouth is not locally administered.  It's done by TNOSC, and I would think it is generally the same Army wide, or at least a big chunk of the Army.   I see all kinds of silly things being blocked sometimes for years and other times I check back in a few days and it's no longer blocked.

Is any military or govt. site besides Ft. Monmouth blocking www.mac.com as a malicious P2P/File Sharing site?

I'd be interested in the rationale. Is there anything on www.mac.com that couldn't be found on yahoo mail, aol, etc...?
