But, Riyadh is actually pretty right on this one - there's almost no POLITICAL filtering in Oman - most of it is geared toward social categories (LGBT, sex education, etc) and religious criticism.

Using filters such as these are prone to 2 problems: over-blocking and underblocking. I would probably suggest to permanently use a VPN solution to get around the censorship as it will also mask whatever traffic is going through your pipes. they cost money, but damn worth it I say.
