Get around sites...

[Atty]

I'm at school and bored, someone link me to one of those get around sites. You know, the proxy ones. I can't think of any off the top of my head and surf control won't let me go anywhere fun. :(

Although it will let me view these and the Gearbox forums, but not the main sites. :confused:

I suggest you subscribe to Cirumventor (http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/simple-circumventor-instructions.html). It emails you about twice a week with a new proxy site that they setup. Most of the sites run via https and most schools don't block port 443, so I think you're golden. Here are a couple of the recent ones that I use at school:

www.sunclap.com
www.dangerprincess.com
www.slugstew.com

I suggest you disable "remove scripts" if you log onto Facebook or else many things seem very odd. Hope this helps!

Am I glad my school doesn't block sites (yet).

I hate the damn firewalls. It is ridiculous that they block pretty much 99% of teh internets.

Not really. How would you feel if you urgently had to use a school computer for an important assignment, and some asshole was hogging the computer to view a games website or worse, actually play games? These filters can be irritating when you're in the computer lab class, you finished your work, and you actually deserve to surf the web. But otherwise, I support this filtering stuff.

My filter of choice is vtunnel. For some reason, my school hasn't blocked vtunnel yet, although they blocked a hell lot of other proxy sites. The computers also block installation of programs, including other web browsers, so I'm forced to use IE7 (although sometimes I run Firefox off a flash drive).

this is an easy fix. I found a portable regedit application that i run to go into the registry, unlock internal registry editing, update the registry with my custom .reg file that unlocks 99% of the locked privilages, and then i proceed to install firefox. I have the whole system automated with a .bat file, that i run whenever i log in. It generally takes me up to a minute to set it up how i like.

Now i just need to figure out how to add stuff to the deepfreeze thawspace.......

Thats exactly what my brother used to do. He had it all set up on floopy disks, that he would then sell to people for $5 each.

2 weeks later when the teachers caught on they altered it.
so he altered the floppy disks and sold them again to hte same people for $5 each.

*Rinse and Repeat*

he got a fair chunk of money out of exploiting hte school like this.
it was awesome \m/

The fact that my school blocks imageshack and other various free image websites is epic fail. And most proxy sites, as well. Some kind of bypass would be :awesome:.

My computer labs are pretty small in size, with about... er, 25 computers per room. There is always a computer open, even with people playing games and the like before school starts. Still, there is always an open computer. It's hard to imagine all of them being used, unless there's some flash game fad that people are addicted to for the time.

I was expirimenting with OpenSSH and Putty, to create my own tunnel to my home pc as a proxy, but never could get it to connect....

sad part is CGI proxy sites like that are blocked within 2 or 3 hours of access, and our tech guys have nothing better to do than Google around and block all the ones they come up with.

I am in need of a way to route them through my laptop at home, because I can change the IP address on it at will, preventing them from blocking it.

Most stuff is blocked at my school. Google Images is blocked under pornography, for instance (along with any other image search engine).
