Question

Can GamBlock® be subverted by using a proxy?

Answer

No, unlike some of the gambling specific filters that are available, GamBlock® cannot be subverted by using a proxy. GamBlock® users who wish to use a proxy services can use them and will still be blocked from gambling. The reason is that GamBlock® does not rely on a list of sites / URLs that proxies can mask from your computer to determine if a site should be blocked, but instead checks the content on the page to make sure that all gambling is blocked.
