Blocked School Sites

I've never tried to get around filters before, luckily when i was in high school- i didn't have to worry about this stuff. You may try some of the following:
- getting a flashdrive and using firefox. Most school districts are way out of the date; so i'm willing to bet a majority of their filters are on IE. Using any alternative browser should work decent. I use a flash drive for work when my labtop is dead; they are usually no more then $75 USD max, and that would be a very nice gig worth of space. A cheap 128 MB one would be $20 USD or less.
- go to yahoo, search for the site in question, and click search. When you find the link you want, right click on the link and go to Copy Shortcut; paste it into your browser window. Small little nifty trick.
- start --> run --> ftp Use it to install games, or what not. If you have a gigantic network of computers at your school, i suggest you try WINCHAT. start --> run --> winchat. Its a small little computer-to-computer IM chat that is very fun to play with May take a bit to get use to, and find a computer...but once you get the hang of it, its quite nice.

I'm willing to bet they just block by 'domain name' alone. So for example; if you bought a domain name for a school class, with the word 'game' in it- they might not let you see it.

BFTP

 

doesnt work
we cant install anything
right mouse button is disabled.
so we cant install FF
and the ftp doesnt work either

 

Install anything? You might not be allowed to install on parts of the server, but don't you have a 'section' where you can store your school files, etc?

 

yeah like 1 mb :|

 

i just upload all my stuff on my server.
then i have easy access to it.

 

I think he ment try installing firefox on the flash drive, might not work becuase of registry files, but worth a try.

dja

 

i can get on primary games and google and a couple of others but just use a proxy site its easier heres opne if u need one

https://w8.----.la thats the one i use at school

 

I could access all of the sites at my school. My school doesn't have any filters or anything, so i don't know how much it means. But I did try it! I go to a private school in Menlo Park, CA.

 

this is beacuse when up put a site in google etc u put in under a catogory

in this catogory u put 5 words


if its a game site
or chat etc

the web sence (bloocking program) will not let u enter

 

I live in Virginia.

 

Live in California, Los Angeles.

All the sites work for me. There are no blocks at my school.
