It is New Zealand's role to send out its bright young men and women to help run the rest of the world. And they go, not hating the country of their birth, but loving it. From this loving base they make their mark on the world.

How do you "know its the firewall", do you administrate the school network or something?

well no... but it's highly likely, we use a system built for schools, it's damn annoying, all gaming sites I find they keep blocking.
