My school's new firewall blocks nearly EVERYTHING that dosen't have cartoon animals or math formulas on it. I've been able to hack my way around every firewall up untill this one, but now I'm having some trouble. Every proxy site (that I've found) is blocked, as is the google page translator (which is what I used to use). More and more sites are being blocked each day (I doubt I'll be able to get on this one next week). I used to work on my website each day after I was done with my computer work, but Freewebs was blocked last month. I tried to look up some teen poetry this morning for English, but nearly every site that Google came up with was blocked. I'm doing a report on Paintball in another class, but everything that involves paintball is blocked by the firewall.

Yesterday I found a good PHPserver site that wasn't blocked (http://www.dragon2309.ath.cx/phproxy/), but today that site won't pull up at all. Is there anything that you can think of that I can do about this? I'm all out of ideas except for sending a petition to the board of education, but I seriously doubt that will do anything.

Thanks for your help

go home and use http://www.dnsstuff.com/ to get the IP address then use the ip address to access the site its what i used to do at my school to get round the firewall used to only block the actual address not the IP address.

or complain tho the system admin that you cant get onto the sites you need for research(this would be a better way)

The way I see it you are using the school network and therefore subject to their rules. Trying to get around it by hacking will only get you in trouble. The best thing you can do is start your petition or go about getting the rules changed thru some other method. Jut my

Nah just do a ping command. It may be blocked but it still resolves. I had a similar issue that was fixed by doing that when I was in HS. I was cool with the network admins though and I even told them that I was and how I was....they didn't seem too concerned.
