boobtronic Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Well I'm now getting a stupidass "spyware blocker firewall" error while trying to access proxy sites, to access other blocked sites. Now, until now, I knew how to get around it..it seems as though they started with game sites..and now I've realised it's slowly creeping up on all my forums..and proxy sites. I pretty much am asking what possible way there is to remedy this. I will be trying Firefox when I get my flash disk back. Is that likely to work? What is the likliest method used by these school board Nazi's for identifying "filtered content"? EDIT: I've just tried connecting IE through a proxy adress, and no luck.

Luke15 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 What you should do is choose your favourite and quickest proxy. Register with no-ip.com and use web redirecting, to use a domain of your choice to link to the proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Does no-ip.com actually send trafic through no-ip.com server, or does it simply do a meta re-direction of a request? Because if it is the later, the firewall will still block it. In any case, a lot of schools are switching to "smart" fitlers that actually check the content of the pages you request and search them for keywords. I would recomend, as the most absolute solution, to create a program which runs on a home PC as a https server. The communication with such will be encrypted, so no keyword check can be done, and your packets will go through your home IP, which probably isn't blocked.

The-end Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 At my school every single webpage get's re directed to the school's homepage except 3 sites which dont, is there any way of getting around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 My school has websense and it took me forever to get around it and it was making me mad because it blocked the littlest stupid things. Typing in ".nyud.net:8090" did the trick for me. So for example: http://www.gtaforums.com.nyud.net:8090 is what you typed in and it would let you pass. And then there are sites like www.anonymouse.org and those kind of things that supposedly let you get around it, but when i tried that site it was also blocked. That's all i really know.

It depends on how it actually works. If it does the check at the DNS request, you can bypass it by simply going by the IP. For example, google.com is 64.233.167.99. Instead of going to http://www.google.com/ you can simply go to http://64.233.167.99/ You can easily find out what the IP of the domain is by pinging it. To do that open command prompt (start->run type in cmd or command), and in the prompt type in: ping google.com Of course, you'd have to find out the IP of the sites you want to go to from somewhere where you can actually open these sites. If the blocking occures at the IP, it is significantly trickier, and depends on what you actually can do from these computers. For example, you can set up a remote server to which you will e-mail page requests, and it will e-mail you back the pages. Yes, I do realize it would be very slow, but sometimes you need to know how people with 14K modems felt to appretiate modern tech. Which sites does it let you visit, anyways?

Jack_Knife Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I just ran a http server with a cgi proxy running on it on my home computer to get around sh*t at school. Then everyone started using it, and my meagre internet connection got owned. i have a question: what's a proxy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server "You can play faster than Al Di Meola and do it with only one pinky, but if you're not listening to what is going on around you, you might as well just shut up" isn't your croth suppose to be erecting when you have an orgasm?

MiNdLeSs Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Your school may be blocking the word "proxy" If its in the url, I know mine does at least. best would be cgi-rpoxy on a free website with the -proxy part named to something else. Besides, why would you need to get around the school's filters? Aren't you supposed to be learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just another thug Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I know for a fact that my school's filter (SPARCC) blocks all IP addresses. So now what is done is connect to a home PC through IE Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Use a proxy > enter the ip and port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce. Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 o do that open command prompt (start->run type in cmd or command), and in the prompt type in: ping google.com Of course, you'd have to find out the IP of the sites you want to go to from somewhere where you can actually open these sites. I just tried that but the IP adress cmd comes up with is much different than the one you posted. I get 72.14.207.99. Wut am i doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing. If you go to http://72.14.207.99/ you still end up on Google. They have many servers, and I think, it might be just redirecting you to the one with the least load, or nearest to you by location, or something combination of these. I tried it just now, and got yet another IP. They all work, though, so it isn't a problem. The only time you'll run into a problem with this method is if the IP addres for a particular web server keeps changing, which doesn't happen very often.

Opius Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 My school's technicians are actually competant and have it set up so that their router drops all external connections not forwarded from an internal proxy server. This proxy server only forwards HTTP traffic, and requires an account tied to your print credit account. There's really no way around this. At least it doesn't filter anything.

DarkRukario Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hell, in my school, there are lots of sites which are blocked or just won't show up. But the worst thing is the f**cking admins. The school has its computer network. Every student has a user and password with your own directory. But damn, The admins keep deleting all your files and even if they think you are in some thing other than the school work, they log you off from the admin comp and lose all your work.

riccbhard Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) My school has bess, ive tried everything and cant find a way around this, i really f*cking hate this. And so does mine. Running all Apple computers, and they use Bess for control, and Apple's Workgroup Manager to tell what you can and can't open or do on the computers, from opening programs to copying files, it's all under control. The most annoying thing is the stupid Bess stop sign and the generally stupid categories that they list things under.
