Why did he make the thread if all you guys were going to do was tease him with little bits of info instead of giving him the real answers?

Man...that was a long time since someone posted.ANyway,there was no way he could get in trouble if he used a couple of proxies on a disk.

School have filters in place for a reason. The state and/or federal government requires the schools to place filters on the network in order to be given certain grants. I remember when I first started working as an Admin at my old school I asked why they put filters on them in the first place and that was the answer I got.
They get grants for new computers and wicked discounts on computers they buy, otherwise school taxes would go through the roof and your parent's would not be pleased. Nor would you if your school couldn't afford new computers having to pay near-retail.
And if you have a good reason to visit a certain website just ask your Net Admin kindly and he will probably unblock it. Sites like Myspace and Facebook should be blocked during school hours, that's what your home computer is for.

There was a program where you could go to any site you wanted to.I signed up as an admin,changed the password, the options, and I could barely do anything.Does anyone know why that didn't work?

Probably because the program was a fake. Most that advertise as such are.
Now back to the original question of this Thread.
I'm going to tell you the best possible way to bypass a schools filter. There are actually a couple of great ways. Both of these have worked for me in the past.
1. You talk to the Network Admin or Headmaster. Present your case on the website you are attempting to view and give the details of what it is and why you want to use it.
2. The 3 o'clock bell rings and you pass by there for bypassing all of the school systems and firewalls as you leave the premises and go home to use your own computer.
Now if your parents have the same site blocked... you revert to the first suggestion only replace IT admin and headmaster with mom and dad.
You are at school from what 7:30am or 8am til 3 or 3:30pm.. not including extra ciricular stuff... seriously Everybody is at school or work during this period of time anyway... there is nothing you do online that is that desperately important.
