Get past the schools firewall

Jesus! :D Cheers for the advice keep it coming
 
Ok I know that the firewall is there to protect people and the school from harmfull websites etc but being a senior I believe we should have more access to the internet than say the younger kids. It started today when I was on the schools new laptop and I inserted my SDcard so I could listen to music and bam! I had access to the network without restrictions meaning I could install apps etc etc etc What could I install on my laptop :) to get past the restrictions on say wikipedia. This is mostly for chemistry reasons.

A very clever gent (Cdawall);) started a thread on this some time ago here....
 
Thanks alot :D cdawall looks like you spent most of your expertise helping us get through those damn firewalls
 
Actually, I should be thanking you! You helped my son get through the school firewall with that thread! Glad I didn't know at the time!:laugh:

:slap: that was a fun page i should update the how-to

i hate school firewalls they are annoying and i get tired of them really fast when i'm looking for something and can't get to it cause its blocked
 
At our school it was as simple as going into Internet options and disabling the proxy server
 
haha i remember i almost got suspended for doing that in high school...i couldn't help it though it got so boring in that intro to programing class!

Lol, i was th only one who figured that out at first, and then i got into b ig trouble for it. The they fixed that, and i found out another way around. But then they let me go(graduate), and now im free.

yea it was kinda funny before to long the entire class was tryin it out...we where trying to see who could do it first i came close but the teacher found out what we where doin and turned some of us in (me) but my principle was cool he didnt care, he got more mad at the teacher for not knowing what we where doing :D

Yeah, well if I would have known at the time I would have kicked Randoms ass! But, reading through your info after the fact I was in awe of your know-how! Now I can laugh, and Random has graduated, so I can relax!:laugh:
 
Nothing at my school works at all. I'v tried making me an administrator account, changing my account name/password, making me admin, useing Proxy's and even software like Uber Surfer but nothing simply works. The only thing I can do to vist sites that are block by Bess Soft is Google Cached, but thats only to view it.:banghead:
