Proxy Websites

[gfwilliams]

Hi Everyone,

I go to bording school and at school they have blocked many websites on the school network.

does anyone know any proxy websites without the word proxy in them that I could use to get around this?


greatly appreciate it,

GFWilliams

Can you use USB sticks? If so, install OperaTor to a USB key and surf via OperaTor. (Although not all websites like Opera, and some of the proxy connections are seriously slow...)

Just google for "anonymous proxy", there's loads. If they're switched on enough to filter traffic then they'll probably have blocked most of the decent proxies. Plus using anon proxies are one of the things that IT people will happily hit the "Dump into insta-shit" button over.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the school will be running some form of packet filtering, proxy, firewall. Probably a transparent one set to catch all requests on common ports (80, 8080, etc.)

So even if you get your anon proxy going... you're still inside their filtered network to some degree, so whilst you'll be able to surf porn (possibly) you're still not going to be allowed to download things.

And yes, most IT bods will get really irked if you start using Tor or other anon services... you'd be surprised at just how much logging even high end SOHO equipment is capable of and just how visible your efforts will be. You'd also be surprised at how approachable most IT people are, if a website that doesn't break the schools computer usage rules is getting caught in the crossfire... tell them, they might well tinker with their systems to let it through (common issue... block the word sex... loose thisismiddlesex.co.uk and thisisessex.co.uk).
