I want to check the forums and stuff at school but half of the ones I go to are blocked. How can I get around this?

I cannot unblock them, I cannot use a proxy all blocked.

Could I purchase a flash drive, put Firefox on it and use that to visit sites? Also I could put flash games on it!

Or is there a cheeper way?

You could try using Portable Firefox from www.portableapps.com, but there's a good chance your school will have blocked the "normal" internet, only allowing traffic through their proxy. Sad
This happened at my school, but I can still use Firefox by setting up the proxy server. (Although I'm not sure the admin's take to favourably to me using their proxy for FTP and SSH traffic, despite the fact I discovered it can)

Alternatively, there are hundreds of proxy sites out there, the Admins can't block all of them. I've been using the one at www.yaphog.org for a while now, secretly, and nobody's blocked it yet. Big Grin

My school is unfitted for the internet.

Computer teacher, doesn't know shit, I simply deleted a graphics card driver from a computer, and it crashed cause it was a 2000, and i took away the DX9, so graphics card couldn't run. It got shutdown, I recommended to him to reformat the server. He did so, and each of every computer. He had google images blocked, we did a search on stem cell research, and he blocked it, then I searched up gay, you say guys sucking eachother. Disgusting, and thank god nobody saw.

Later, I noticed he used a key verification hack, so I called over CW11 News, and I said our teacher was messing around with Microsoft Operating Systems, illegaly. Later they called Microsoft, which later sued him. He came back to say bye to everyone, and then I hacked his password. gg. Dumbass gave every student admistration access.

Anyhow, about your problem, I recommend you trying to access the server somehow, turn off the firewalls and any other program he might use to block sites. Then try.

Oh, I forgot to add that.

Personally, I get blamed for originally trying to mess up the server. He called up my parents, got grounded for 2 months.

He gets caught looking up a girl's skirt, (multiple times)

Everyone double dared me. lol.

He is a evil nasty person, he has been trying to get everyone expelled, suspended, in trouble, etc. No one likes him.

Just do your school work. If your school is smart, then the filters will be at the proxy, and the proxy will be the only way outside the school network, in which case firefox won't make a difference.

If you want to get by the restrictions, then figure it out yourself, at least then you'd be learning something.

Simply switching browsers will not work in a school's system. The only answer is a proxy site.

They can't all be blocked. A few good ones are:

hidemyass.com
Xtunnel.com (x can be replaced with any letter, or at least c and v)

ok, instructions... i also hate my IT department because they think they own the place and know everything.

1) if you have a network printer go to microsoft word and print something. you will get a small dialog box telling where it is printing and a status bar. take a ss of this and paste it into paint. you will see an address the dialog box like: "\\bla\bla\printer" go to notpad or something, go to "open" and type "\bla"(whatever the first thing was on the printer) after this you are free to mess around on the server.

2) for games, put any SWF on your flashdrive or download it from a FTP server. double click it and open it with internet explorer.

3) for websites, get a domain name write a php script to read the site and change include it to make sure it can read the images.

i may sound like a "kiddy h4x0r" but this is the only way i can have fun in school. i even managed to get telnet up and they tryed to punish me for "bypassing the filter" whatever that means, all i wanted to do was check up on my computer at home.

Our school network uses Ranger on all it's computers (a few hundred (at least 30 per department)) and there is no way in hell to access anything without getting into the server room (which is usually manned by one net admin).

Good job i got employed as a network admin at school Smile (not bad for 16! Thumbs Up )

My school blocked out the LAN Settings button in the Internet Options under the Connections Tab when they finally found out everyone was using proxies. Then an idiot teacher booked the computer lab and complained that everyone inside were watching stuff and YouTube and making noise with their comps so the technicians disconnected the audion mixer in every single one of the computers.

That's funny, because i don't think there is anyone in our school that knows anything about computers, any of my friends or people i know wouldn't even know what a proxy is lol. In the case of our school the settings are loaded from the network when you log in, so if you unplug the lan cable from the computer right after hitting enter to log in, the crap will not load lol, the control panel will be available, registry editing etc....

The only reason I do that is to use Remote Desktop which is disabled(Why they have remote desktop enabled(as in allowing people to connect to it, not using the program) on the school computers I don't know) our school used to block certain words but they do not do that anymore, all they have is barracuda filter which only blocks in most case dangerous sites...

renhelp isn't blocked thankfully(well at least at my school)
our network sys reeks, half of the students files dont work and i keep loggin on with admin priveliges (well, they fixed that now Dont Get It )mind you, basically all our servers are 500 yrs old and our computers are even worse. at the moment they are bringing new computers in, but not botherin to network them. Big Ups
even worse, none of them have been defragged ever....
if it all comes to it, cant you just cancel the logon? (and use it as a stand-alone with networking)

We have Ranger at our college, and the Ifuse proxy works through it.

I was referring to accessing network resources and directorys. You even try to type Q:\ into win explorer and it won't accept it, it'll just delete it and you have no text.

Haha, we used Tunnelier and a friend's home computer to do that last year. Being able to access IRC and basically anything with proxy support was pretty cool. Satisfied Sadly, he ran away with a girl from the internet over the summer. Sad LOL

My proxy script is the shit. Almost as fast as a direct connection - just one nice little PHP script (+CMS) on my webserver Rocked Over Handles all websites including Java/SSL etc as well as encrypting the URL in case the filter peeks at the URL to do its dirty work....all it gets is a http://xxxxxxxxxxxx.net/?url=HI6J5JBN4JK575. Now ain't that nice?

My school uses server side filters and it is pretty much impossible to access anything. I'm trusted by our tech department and have full administrator rights to our school's network and main server so I don't have to put up with all those filters and blocks. Aside from that, they don't block remote desktop, so I used to use that when I was limited.
