lilgreg70 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I want to know is there anyway to get around those school parental blocks? , I want to play games and stuff but every site is blocked out for either porn or language and ****! :angry: If anyone know please share with me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypoxiaicon Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 you cant really, if its anything like my schools parental blocks then you have to be admin to change it all. sometimes it worked by typing a hyperlink into MS word and clicking it... but not always.

.Atlantis Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Try and access a Proxy Server website. Google it 'Anonymous Proxy Websites' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolme Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 If your school allows you to go to sites that offer DNS I.E. no-ip dot com then you can host your own HTTP web server and run CGI-Proxy on it as long as your internet conenction is not dial-up... (plus it supports HTTPS, FTP connections) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 my school just puts a proxy on it and even sometimes internet settings is not blocked so it is really easy to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakingbiscuit Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 check out www.peacefire.org. they have some ideas. I have a web proxy server running only during school hours for me to get past everything :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericnmu Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I've had this problem before, and a simple proxy off google fixed it. Like said before. Would this release restricted ports though? I havent tried it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Player Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 you could d/l the games on your home compuer, put them on a usb flash drive and play the games via that...I used to do that with gltron and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomonkeycock Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Same problem in my school, but the way to get around some sites for me was to leave out www in the URL, n00bish admins. Another i have thought of but not tried would be to register a .tk domain and then link that to the site. Most anonymous browsers are blocked for me, but the cached version on google sometimes works.

ozgeek Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 "College Internet surfing is meant for study purposes only and must not be used for personal purposes". That was one of the sentences in the Internet Policy agreement statement for my TAFE college. That is what they mean it! If you want to surf personal favourites, find a internet cafe in your area that does allow personal surfing. You understand that your school logs whatever comes into the network even annoymous. I once tried to download that 25 mb nero burning rom update through tafe but after I read the policy, I understood that they logged what I downloaded so I deleted the download.

(would they still find out where you surfed, what u did, if you surfred through a secure proxy server?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z|Coda Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I worked at a high school for two years as a systems administrator. We had blocks in place to keep the computers free of what amounts to crap and also to protect our network from crackers. Granted, there are holes in the system, but when you are at school and using their computers, you should consider it a privilege that you even have a computer to use, and therefore use it for its intended purpose- studying! I realize I am going to be flamed to no end for saying this, but what you are trying to do is a flagrant violation of your usage contract (which, if you have one, is legally binding as you signed your name to it), but it is also the cause of a major headache for the guy who has to clean up your mess. So, in short, think about your techie brethren before causing them another problem which, I promise you, they do not need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelydoubt Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 on our school we cant even use translators, we get a screen saying "anonomyzer", it is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mldkfa Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hrm I don't think so, they can only see that your transfering tons of data by checking the size of packets going to your place. I'm in the same problem right now except instead of blocking it all they cap all the ports at .7 kb/sec :( my downloads take forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I used a translator. Go to altavista.com and type in your web address and say translate from Spanish to English. And since (I'm assuming) the website will already be in English, it will only translate a few Spanish words and such. Works well except for some of the pictures. I made a thread just like this and it got closed the not too long afterwards. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetman Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 i hafta use a translator, if i do anything regarding proxies i get a "proxy avoidence" block from websense, our school is messed up becuase i have not been able to do research for psychology because when i was looking up stuff for ESP it was blocked for "uncommon religion" or something like that. there would be no point to games though as all of our machines are pentium 133 with 32mb, even the multimedia lab sucks as we are doing design layouts and stuff in word. oh well one more year then its college c/o 2004 rules :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 We have the same thing at our school (Websense). Quite annoying, but I can still go to Neowin at school. Its so funny because they try to scare everyone by saying we're all being monitored while using the computers, but theres absolutely no way you can have that many computers (hundreds and hundreds) all being watched at the same time. Oh yah, Class of '05. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelington Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 http://www.neonblu.com/nph-proxy.cgi you can use that if NEEDED, its what i use to evade security(HTTP/FTP only, no HTTPS(too lazy to install OpenSSL and configure apache for it)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xEonBuRn Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 My old high school had blocks at a countywide level... teachers did not even have access... apparently they had someone that searched the internet and found sites with anonymizers so that did not work often unless I got lucky in finding one.... however, I got around it by setting up my own anonymizer on my old website... not to different. It was a perl script. You should look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
