Why don't you google this expression "tunneling to avoid blocked websites" and you'll have plenty of detailed guidance bringing you to success.

Sites like anonymizer can fetch you the restricted website from the server and display it to you.The server which blocks the site is fooled into thinking that you are viewing a page from anonymizer.

[ashikkalam123]

Blocked sites can also be accessed by typing in their IP address.A site can thus be accessed even if it is in the blocked list.For example, I used Netcraft to find out that the Rediff Web server is located at the IP address 202.54.124.171. By typing this number in the address bar of my browser I can see the Rediff homepage even if www.rediff.com blocked.

Just type vtunnel.com in address bar and browse through this website.

please dont use this site for illegal activity. If there blocked then its for a reason

Just because a website is blocked doesn't mean it's illegal to access the website. Schools block websites (like gamefaqs.com or other game-related websites) from students but does this make the website http://gamefaqs.com illegal? No, it does not.

[jbennet]

im saying its illegal because you are probably breaking your school/company "use of it facilities" contract

[NightKev]

Uh, unless you've actually signed a contract about Computer/etc use there's no "contract violation".

[bobbyraw]

actually you don't have to sign a computer policy to be binded by one. and circumventing a company/School block policy on their network IS ILLEGAL

What if it's at a middle/high school, and not a college?

[jbennet]

its the same

at my high school there was a poster that said "use of it facilities is subject to the terms of use"

[bobbyraw]

it's worst in GOVERNMENT Institutions. they will prosecute to the fullest extent of the LAW

Back on topic. What web filter is the school/college using?
From past experience with filters like DansGuardian you cannot bypass the filter by using IP addresses and you can't use a proxy server as it will still filter the incoming traffic.
My own suggestion would be, if it is a legit site, just as the IT department to unblock it for 10 minutes. Always works with me, maybe thats because I'm too nice to my people!

[jbennet]

yes, i agree. if it is a legit site, just ask the IT department. This is all i have to say about this. From now on anyone discussing ways to disable filters/break company ploicy will recieve an infraction and the thread will be locked.

Well said j! Usually if its blocked, its blocked for a very good reason. I.e you shouldn't be leisurely surfing in company/school time!

exactly. time = money therefore time on facebook = being fired
