Why the hell this college banned websites of use !
The college administration is somehow managing to make campus life harder every week, and the new LAN setup absolutely fucking takes the cake.
A stable, open internet connection is the damn absolute baseline for any engineering college, but the network here is barely usable. Beyond the random disconnects, the newly implemented Sophos firewall has blocked critical tools and portals required for coursework, placements, and basic developer workflows.
In what fucking world does an engineering institute block GitHub, cloud storage, and company career pages during hiring season?
A quick list of broken/blocked services:
Academics & Dev: GitHub, Microsoft OneDrive
Placement & Careers: Career/application portals for Amazon, Nvidia, Infineon, MediaTek, NXP, Cognizant, etc.
General / Recreational: Reddit, Spotify, Chess.com
We need to compile a comprehensive list and escalate this to the administration.
Drop any other critical websites or tools getting blocked in the comments so we can put together a unified complaint.
