Can't use any other than installed warez on the public library systems
here; can install warez on these here college systems (not supposed
to, but you can--I run a C compiler and the R Language that way--and
the HDs get flushed every night) but they apparently BLOCK NNTP ports/
servers.

Believe me, I tried.

America's War Against Usenet came after the DMCA but before CISPA SOPA
PIPA etc., and now few ISPs or even colleges offer it--and I must say
I don't think much of any so-called college CS/IT department that
doesn't run a newsserver.

What's even scarier, if possible, is how the number of web-portals/
gateways to Usenet have dwindled. To, like, about one.

if you can install warez at the college, you have a way onto usenet.
ping me and i'll give you a link a handy vpn app, then you can say
goodbye to any censorship and blocked ports.

i couldn't agree more. i can remember when isp's were judged by how
good the usenet server was. my brother finds that very hard to
believe.

MIght this help?

Interestingly, this here college LAN only blocks NNTP on its library and
computer-center systems, but not on wifi (QED).
