I would like to understand which sites were not blocked. Please send me contact information via private message so that we can look into this.

Someone seemed to have used the church computer that it now has a virus in it. I have tried downloading the virus update and tried to install it in the computer but the computer would not let me do any application installation. The only thing that seems to work normally is the mls and the open offi...

I do know they have a functionality of hooking up to a giant VPN server which the home routers couldn't do. Please do not advocate removing approved Church firewalls.
