School Glitch

Not sure why but it seems everything has been unblocked at school dunno why. And stuff but YouTube & Habbo work I have no clue about why but I'll enjoy it whilst it lasts. :YouTube In PSHE xxx

Even when protection is on, it's usually very simple to bypass the filter.

my favourite method is portable firefox on a usb key if they let you execute unfamiliar programs.

If not, just use a simple web-based proxy.

Strange. I have some Hertfordshire Grid protecting websites we are not allowed on. Shouldn't you be concentrating on your work anyway? Not playing Habbo etc.

Well fair enough xx but Yerr I was bored at lunch

same. whenever you log on you have to click I AGREE. and if you bring your own laptop in you have to install their crappy software on your OWN laptop to use their wireless (please mind the software logs everything you do)

eurgh we have so much stopping us.
they have a capture system if you type in keywords
a proxy that stops you
the council block it through the internet connection

so yeah basically no way to do it, altho, you can get on some using firefox as said prior, but they've tried to stop it but you just switch off the wireless on our laptops then do it and it works

It's only for your school.

And actually if you had clever IT admins, they would block access to change the network/proxy settings and block .exes from executing from flash drives (like ours do, and like I do at another school).

Yeah it's like that at my school, although they only learn how to do things by constantly monitoring me, as since then you now can't run exe's from Desktop, Macros from Word and they've added to the filter "*ryanclark*" so basically any URL containing my name is filtered

My point was that it was for his school, not anyone else... |-)

Haha, our IT guys don't give a damn what we go on, it's actually the teachers that moan!

Anyway, best way around a school block? SSH Tunelling ;D
