How do you bypass school/corporate internate filters

Expand Post »
After reading the dig article "Kids Outsmart Web Filters" which links to a CNet News Article. I was wondering what measures you have used or know that have been used to bypass internet filters. I have the sole interest of securing internet access in my schools.
Thanks guys!

Re: How do you bypass school/corporate internate filters

I've heard of lots of different ways. Proxies being the easiest and most prevelent way to do it. But it is simple to ban all proxies from being accessed. I read through all of the replys to the dig article and there are lots of ingenous responses, but i was wondering if there were any others that daniweb's people know about that not many others do.

Re: How do you bypass school/corporate internate filters

Doesn't matter if they ban proxies. Chances are they already have. If you access it via a secure connection then there's nothing they can do about it.

www.proxify.com will be blocked by the filter, but if you type:

https://proxify.com then it will work perfectly.

Re: How do you bypass school/corporate internate filters

When I was in the army, they had filters. The problem I had wasn't that I wanted to look at porn or anything silly, but that even legit e-mail sites were locked out. Being a programmer, with access to a linux box that was outside of the network, I wrote a perl script that allowed me to type in the URL, and it used the LWP module to retrieve the HTML, added a base tag to the HTML (to expand all relative paths) and modified the links so that it referenced my perl program, so that it could get the HTML for the HREF'd page, and saved the HTML file on to the server (the linux box running perl, which was also a web-server). I suppose the concept is a proxy, but when someone can program, you have just lost over half of your power to lock them out of things.

Re: How do you bypass school/corporate internate filters

hehe...in my school the internet security was simple (that was long time ago, like 5 years). We were not allowed to use forums, look at porn, write email, and go to controversial websites, and play games. Security? Two old ladies ran around the computer lab looking over everybody's shoulder trying to see if they were doing anything wrong. Given their illiteracy, I was caught and warned many times for programming in C++, and VB (they did not even know what it was, but if they dont know, its illegal). Having a DOS window (to run some program), got me yelled at many times. Ahh...the good old days.

Re: How do you bypass school/corporate internate filters

yep proxies thats how we do it. We set up a php proxy and someone hosted it. Are school blocked stuff randomly like CNN. Then they made it so you couldn't change the proxy but we went into the registry and edited the actual value or ran live linux and changed the proxy in there. You can also use firefox.

for IE go to tools->internet options->connections->lan settings-> x the box to use a proxy and enter the ip for that proxy and port prob. 8080 or 80 for http
