Bypass school's internet block?

[IlliniPi]

Do you guys know anyway to bypass a school's restricted internet access? I'm lucky enough to get to Neowin but other forums and gaming sites are blocked. The company/program that is being used is called Websense. Is there any program or way that I can search the ENTIRE internet. Some of my teachers also wanted to be able to do this as well. :)

well while I was at HS I knew how to get around, but they blocked my port this year

if teachers need access to inet why don't they talk to school administration and/or IT?

[IlliniPi]

Well, I think its because the sites they want access to are for pleasure and are not really neccessary. One my of dad's friends (my dad works at my school) can't get into his football betting pool and is kinda upset about that.

Yeah, my school uses CyberPatrol, but it's on the proxy server connecting the school to the internet. :/

My school uses a Proxy to connect to the net, on the Windows NT4 computers the browser is Netscape 4 and the way we get around this is to go into prefrences and use instead of using the proxy, we use the direct connection option, that gets around the schools website filters.,

We can't do this on the win2k comps though they use ie 5 so they restricted access to the connections tab in Internet Options :crazy:

I know this sounds crazy, install america online and go through the web through that :) worked for me in my computer class in hs. Also try using a different proxy, that might work dunno. You may also try these:

1. configure your browser to go through another proxy server (file -> tools -> options -> connections tab -> lan settings button)

2. use a "virtual proxy" - such as all-nettools.com

3. use a translator - altavista.com or google work good, make sure you translate from spanish to english www.landoflinks.com/translation/

4. if you know how to edit global policies, go for it (hehe i used to do that in high school - print stuff to other schools }:^)~

Try https://megaproxy.com. It uses the secure https and our websense doesn't block that. If you want to use messenger, you have to install Socks2HTTP from www.totalrc.net. It directs Socks5 Traffic through the HTTP port.

or

Instead of typing in the web sites URL, i.e. www.yoursite.com, type in the sites IP address. This can easily be obtained by going to the command prompt and typeing "tracert www.yoursite.com" (without the " "). The series of numbers beside of the web site you entered is the IP address. Now close the command prompt and open your browser. In the box for the web address simply type "http://IP Address" (without the " "). There you go, this should allow most people to bypass the proxy.

Also http://www.peacefire.org/bypass/Proxy/ has some nice information.

i have the same issue at my high school...one possible fix is to go to Program Files/Internet Explorer/Internet Connection Wizard and disable the proxy...this should also be under accessories/communications in the start menu....another option which works very well is getting Opera...if you cant download and install it at school, do it at home and copy it onto a cd and take it to school...the downside to Opera is that you probably wont be able to install Java...another option is to get Remote Administrator and connect to your home computer...there are more ways but those have proven to be the most effective...

I'll try a couple of these things on Monday (its Friday atm). The school was smart enough to disable things like command prompt and adminastrator (sp?) options. I use to be able to change my wallpaper....damn technician guys.

when i used to go to HS, they also used websence.

and it was pretty easy to bypass.

i don't excatly remember it.

but all i had to do is set up a proxy

but it was something like this: artici????

sorry don't remember the rest

[IlliniPi]

Well thanks anyways :happy:

At my school the admin has disabled access to a lot of sites through the proxy too. I have been working on stuff that I think might help. I havnt tested this but if it works please tell me. All it is is a simple .reg file which redirects the current proxy server to my ISP's one.

Proxy.regFetching info...

if they haven't blocked this site you can use it:

http://www.anonymizer.com

there are other sites like it too... this list is a good one:
