it might be digital signature or encryption or firewall, or both of it or just one or all of them. Please give a suitable reasons and url that shown the reasons.

My job recently installed a firewall that blocks facebook and youtube, how do I unblock it without setting off any red flags.

Since my ISP ventured into the voip over cable business, my quality of service has seriously degraded, with frequent disconnects and a lot of page not found or server unavailable error messages. I would chalk it up entirely to an overextended network due to the rapid expansion, but some sites routinely are difficult to access, including major voip competitors’ sites.
Yes, I have a firewall, but the programs that need to access the internet are all on my exceptions list.

My ISP is Charter :-(

I’ve heard that a hardware router acts as a firewall, but I’m not sure how if it seemingly is letting all web traffic in and out. Would appreciate an answer from someone with networking know-how. Thanks.
Just to clarify, I meant protection from viral threats/trojan horses/malware, not from people hacking into the wireless signal.
