The firewall is protecting YOU not anything out there. If you cannot see certain sites it means that surfing properties have been set up to BAN access to certain sites. The firewall is not part of the solution, keep it intact it will save your bacon.

- Agreed - Firewalls don't block sites; filters do.

Go into your firewall setting and you can regulate what comes in and out, without turning your firewall off.
