Subject:	Govt blocking sites
Question:	salam alaikum, i m frm oman n govt over here hav blocked some sites eg skype n internet phone calls sites.but if v use site crackers v can use those sites so is it alowed 2 use.
Answer:	It is not permissible as such, as it is considered a deception and breach of an implied trust given to them (Oman Govt) on entry or on reception of a residency permit for their country, since the prohibition of deception and breach of trust is with regard to anyone. If their (Oman Govt) purpose behind the blocked site is to prevent the enjoining in good and forbidding in evil, then it is permissible to undertake measures as noted in the question.
