Instead the university decided to block the IP addresses coming from France to avoid any future troubles. That said, it is easily bypassed through proxies. Thank you for the interesting example. I wonder if we should update the TAG's explanation of proxies at [1] to clarify that proxies may in some cases reside in a legal jurisdiction that is different from that of the client, the server, or both. In such cases, the use of the proxy might complicate questions relating to jursidiction, access, etc. Furthermore, we might note that in certain cases, users have been observed to employ proxies specifically for the purpose of circumventing access controls and/or tracking mechanisms.
