        Pretty much everything if you use a proxy ( they arnt blocking public ones! ) Most stuff if you dont ( Youtube, facebook,obvious porn sites etc are blocked )

            I mean without the help of a proxy

            You don't have to necessarily visit these sites, just know that you could since they;'re not blocked
