For some reason my school's proxy server and web security has blocked everything that has "exofire" in it due to downloads. I don't know exactly why they do this but at one point in time I had a website and it was on the exofire extension and I couldn't access it at school. This isn't a problem now as I use the x10.mx extension. But I just thought I would let someone know that any site that uses exofire in the name gets blocked in some places.

A site I made for someone on .x10.mx gets blocked at my college. Under the porn category, its a surf shop website? They get blocked for different reasons, and some get blocked randomly. It just depends on the software they use and how much of an ass the IT guys are.

Less about the IT guys, more about the fact that all x10.mx subdomains are considered to be the -same- x10.mx website. Most free hosting providers are blocked at schools due to abuse of the services, and sadly we're no different, despite that we actively attempt to combat all phishing attempts and other bad stuff.
