the mysteries of the internet

After days of struggling to post my purely innocuous comments on my blog I have come to conclusion that a virtual something is standing between me, sitting in my room, and the host of my blog.  Am I paranoid about censorship and blocked access?  I can update from most internet cafes but not from home or the university.  Is there a Great Firewall of Vietnam?  I don't know but I'm now going through some flaky free proxy server which is producing results and, although it isn't perfect, it keeps me going until I find out what the problem is.

And almost the next day I read this..........  so I'm off to buy a reliable proxy server and I'll be able to blog, watch the iplayer and listen to Spotify too.
