When i was in school, there was NO way around any of the bans, i know 3 students who were extremely smart, actually hacked into the schools main server, disabled everything, and within minutes, a backup server hosted in a government office loaded backups of all the data, and that server took over, while the school server rebooted itself... it's crazy... they then tried to hack that government server... and then were facing a lawsuit, my old school filtered everything locally, and when the local system wasn't working, the government's system kicked in and took over, it was literally impossible to get around, no proxies worked, no IP's worked, no VPN's worked, nothing at all...pulling the plug when it was loading the settings didn't work either, it would lockup and reboot after the error message was shown...Talk about restricted :p

Pretty cool, but my school doesn't allow you to install anything without administrative powers. Even the teachers here don't have that kind of power. Also, my school blocks ALL proxies & anything with the word forums [not forum though].


Not even mine anymore o.o;

None of this actually works for me... Most proxy sites and things don't work for me.

Some of you may want to use the following method....

[This may sound ridiculous, but it honestly works]
[Our school uses symantec for the filtering system]


When you first login to Windows, you enter your user name, then your password, and click login.

You then get the "Loading Personal Settings" "Applying Personal Settings" etc stages.

Unplug the ethernet cable that is connecting your computer to the network AS SOON as the "Applying Personal Settings" stage pops up. Wait for a while until it comes up with an error message, plug the cable back in, and press ok.

Thats it!

[You may also notice that some times when you do this any restrictions the school puts on your workstation such as not been able to access control panel are no longer present..... but you still cant change any settings.]

I have tried this before at my other school and it worked, but now the school i am at currently has wireless. All the computers run on wireless and their internet source (router) is really hard to get into. Sucks for me i guess =(

Woah, that's nice! However, some proxies don't support YouTube and therefore they wont play the videos.

LMAO, that would suck if you'd done all of that work to get into the school server and turn off everything, only to have everything locked down again by the feds! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

ok so how do you get past a blocked website that you have to sign into, for example facebook. you can use a proxy to get to the main page but then you can't not login. I also tried to use a batch file i created that invovled nslookup, etc. but for facebook the IP does not work.

My school uses a modified version of Bess and uses EVERY blocked including the "Uncategorized" block. I hate the techies at my school they drive us all up the wall with there restrictions on the internet. My school has gone so far as to actually give you Wednesday school (after school detention for 2 hours). For playing any type of game. That is ridiculous, but I'm going to try these and see if a single one works hopefully I can use one and have some fun with fiber optic internet.

my school uses the same except if you have a web service that allows you to create a proxy then you can always run it through there because some private websites aren't blocked.

I just use remote-desktop. Seems a bit bass-ackwards, but for the most part it seems most networks don't block the Remote Desktop Connection system that came with XP.

From there it's just a matter of having the computer I'm controlling (in this case, my home pc) nav to the sites I want - works as though I was at the keyboard, although it tends to be a bit laggy when updating the screen. Doesn't work for music stuff but it works flawlessly for logging in and stuff :)


Some proxy's WILL let you log in on sites though. For security reasons I do NOT recommend it, since your password details and possibly other highly-sensative information are now passing through a middle-man. I trust most proxies to not do anything with said data, but at the same time there's bound to be a handful "borrowing" copies of all the data going through.

If you couldn't tell, I was mostly giving this advice to College students living in dorms where the school filters your internet access. I was fine with filters in highschool, but having to constantly live in a place were I can't access sites like youtube, is not fun.

The link you first provided was regarding BYU's blocking Youtube. You do realize what BYU is, right? A mormon Christian university. They have every right to block various material from its students. Heck, most of the small towns surrounding BYU don't sell alcohol or cigarettes.
So, to be perfectly honest, if your school is blocking access to certain material, I would re-read the material you got when you started school and figure out why they block what they block.

Will remote computer still work if my computer is connected to a router, and running on a wireless network that i created? I tried to get my freind to connect to my computer but it told him that it was too busy or some other ****.

blah nothing is impossible to get around.

My tech installed a program called deep freeze. That is living hell.

along with content protect.

Lets just say hp+content protect+deepfreeze+ windows xp= major frickin crashing.

and then all your files are gone.

so you know how you get around that.

live disk the thing with linux. format the main drive. install vista (pos but was like gold back then) and there you go the tech sucks all over again.

yeah i had loads of fun hacking these computers which is why the tech hates me and we don't have computers anymore.

Writing your question twice in one thread doesn't mean it will get answered any faster. More than likely. I have a router, wireless connection and I used remote desktop on my main computer.

I figured it might help because people replied to another previous statement and mine might not be scene but i'll take note.

The best way is always to find out someone's username/password, preferably a technician, if not, an IT teacher, if not, any teacher.
Many teachers have little use for computers and do not think of sensible passwords. I was a technician for a short time, and obtained a list of all the teachers user/passwords, and I was astounded by the terrible passwords they used! There was the PE teacher who used to play for a certain football club - his pw was the club's name! A couple were 'changeme', some were dates of birth of them or their children, several were their pet's names (this is really easy to find out!), if not, try their children's names (if they have more than one, chances are it will be a conglomeration of them (eg billjen)).
Seriously, if you have a large staff, get to know them, then you can guess their passwords. You can always tell which ones have simple passwords - those that don't use/care about computers much, and trusting/friendly types. Avoid the suspicious ones, they have good passwords.
