Annoying!

Ahhhh! Okay, I need help! At school, we have a lot of websites blocked, everywhere, Blocked websites! (even this one I may add... :mad: ) And I've been trying everything, to get the unblocked websites! I downloaded a new web browser, (both Thunderbird, and Firefox) installed them while on my teachers login, (due to their administrative properties, although, I found it was brutally easy to get on to one of their accounts ;) ) And Even used a combination of WinRAR and WinZip to get them working, (My school forbids installing programs... unless, added to Zip file... Heh... Simpletons :rolleyes2 ) I also added files to the programs, (to get them properly working) but alas! my hard work never prevailed!

Then, I tried using a dislikeable program called Gibeo.net, Which only unblocked one website (This one, but all the pics are X'ed out, so it is not easy to navigate) and I've then been driven to contemplate making my own server, which wouldn't be hard, but annoying... So if anyone has any Easy or Simple ideas, you could post them here please?

P.S. It is really annoying when the teachers go through your file, and find all your downloaded stockpiled FF music, and Delete it, hmmm? :mad: (lucky I got it home through transferring it onto my mp3 player first.)

I don't use the internet much at school, and they have all sorts of annoying restrictions. Can't use run, or access the explorer shell, or change properties etc.

They have a keyword filter in place though, because all sites with 'blog' or 'journal' are blocked through the server:]

Why is it so important that you have to go online at school? Why not just wait until you're home?

Because, I have a lot of extra time at school, because I finish assignments fast, and our class is always in the computer lab.

Whoops, it's .com

I wouldn't say your administrators are simpletons, but I dunno. I guess I'm just not l33t haxors enough to understand such amazing intertrons.

tell me about it, Now work takes me 5x longer because of the ghey filters, all search engines but google are blocked, google vid and google images blocked, any site that allows you to have fun is blocked (except miniclip lol) albinoblacksheep, mullet's game, ebaumsworld, newgrounds oh and the software on school computers suck, no media player, out of date quicktime (which sucks anyway) and Windows 95/98, they suck balls!

Maybe they have filters because you're supposed to be doing schoolwork/work instead. This is just a wild guess in the dark though.

Centralops.net - Use the Domain dossier to get the IP and input the IP rather than the domain and you will probably get past the filter on your school network, it works at my school. :)

I know exactly how you feel. I'm being personally targetted by the bastard technicians at my college. They've blocked practically all access to the web-based IRC client: CGI:IRC by blocking the word "irc" if it's in the URL, YET, they keep that stupid site MySpace - which could do far more harm than EoFF IRC ever could (well, probably) - unblocked! Argh!

I used to find every site I ever went on was blocked in high school. I could never get to certain pages, but I found a way around some of them, I used links to get to specific pages.

well, this website isn't blocked at my school, but i use this one website that might help. www.attackcensorship.com

Art is harder, History is harder, every computer related subject is harder because only Google web search is permitted, no Yahoo, no Virging, no Msn, no Jeeves no image or video search.

Bah and sites with most info get blocked.

Na ah. I was doing a powerpoint in my ICT class last year. I was doing it on Final Fantasy (seemed easy enough). I was actually using this site to get all the information and pictures. I was about halfway through when they put in websense (or when they fed it). This site is blocked, so I couldn't finish my schoolwork. So many sites are blocked that it's hard to do stuff like that at school.

Cant work it, im afraid.

yeah, sometimes it doesn't work. it was worth a try though.

you should, instead, read books.

Or do sudoku puzzles.
Man those rock.

Neel is stupid, don't listen to him.


Further, schools have sites blocked for a reason, so they don't corrupt your mind.

stfu sudoku rox ;_;

too late for that, man.

Ask the admin to kindly remove all filters so you can get your porn fix

I COULD ask the admin, but then again, when given a chance for some hardcore sleuthing, you must take advantage of it!!:choc2: (also, it not necessarily my porn fix, It is my somewhat-good-website-not-crappy-ones Fix.)

Oh heavens no, everyone knows you're not supposed to work in school. You're supposed to goof off.

I'll try and help. IF i can get a hold of my freind I can get you all sorts of Mirror Sites to get around the filters. He's got a box full of different mirrors.

I only have one lesson a week in the IT rooms and its such a small room that the teacher is literally breathing down my neck, so yeah, Ive never tried :p

Oh, Final Fantasy, eh? That's something you'll need in real life.

In my school, when you attempt to access a blocked sitea big exclamation mark comes up with the words YOU ARE ATEMPTING TO ACCESS A RESTRICTED SITE under it, and the computer makes a siren sound, like a fire engine. Then everyone in the library/computer room stares at you, and the teacher gets pissed. That's why, when searching on google and theres a chance you may find a restrcited site, turn the sound off! And once google images was blocked, and we were all sehr pissed.

Don't you just love dragging crap out? :greenie:

I... I can't tell if your serious (my Jesus-y senses are all a miss today). C'mon, it was FF or... oh, what are kids into these days... Justin Timberlake or whatever the devil he's called (yeah... that was original, ey?). Best to do something not crap over... well, something crap, I guess. Something a sin against nature.

FF is more than real life. It is life. It is perfection. There is nothing more to a pure soul. There should be nothing more. And, as RPJesus, I shall destroy all those impure. I shall wipe them from the earth, and we shall live as intended by God himself!
Never get tired of that act. :)

Whoa! Are you serious! That would be AMAZING! But if you can't get ahold of your friend, then no worries ;) . But that would be a huge help.

man that sucks for you...

my school is cool cause the teachers in the computer labs dont really care what you look at as long as its not porn or somethin plus our school doesnt block out any sites hardly...in fact the only one i can think of is Yahoo but it doesnt matter because it only blocks the main page and if you know the address of the mail or games or whatever you can still get to it

hell we can even look up porn if we want to and the teacher isnt paying attention...which they hardly are

Here's a hint: I'm never serious. :happybday

I went on Google and searched for Hostname IP lookup, clicked on the first result and used the IP address for the site I wanted to get to.. it was how I checked my Email at school....

None of these work for me. Me and the technology teacher have been tryin to get past schools blocks(ridiculous) for 2 years. So far the ratio is 2 months work - 1 day without blocks. Its dreadful.

See, this is why I love College. Pure, unblocked internet access. Of course, you can't look up anything too conspicuous, or they'll see, but theres none of that "Protect-the-children-from-the-real-world" crap foisted on public schools.

Ummmm... 'cause not everyone has internet (or even a computer) at home.

we got filters at school but we usually find way to get around them. like www.snoopblocker.com but it got blocked in our school because someone got caught on it (what an idiot!!)

Well, here you go. This works on most sites, but not ones with web-based apps like a web messenger or IRC client. www.fartpeepee.com

Wow, thanks for all the help!
Kudos to Shaun for, the awesome website, it works pretty well, thanks to everyone for providing stuff. If anyone has any more ideas, please fell free to share them.

All I know is that site is blocked too. Wikipedia is blocked now. The IT teachers a wee bit ticked off.

Hire a hit for the people who decide what to block.

Right, thats the department of education.
C2K. Every school in NI has it.

He's serious!

Well, I used to get by the web security, but I only know how to do it with Windows 98. So maybe they set up their web security like my school's, but if they use something other than 98, I can't help you. S:
