At the school I go to we have a program that has a internet blocker/filter called Websense. So pretty much every website I go to, including my email is blocked by it. Also you can't get to stuff through google, still blocking even if not direct. Does anyone no anyways to get around it? I heard something about cloaking or something? but I don't know how that works....any advice?
How do you beat internet filters?

yeah my school blocks out some sites too, try going to altavista babelfish or sumthing and type in your url to be translated. then just pick korean to english or turkish to enlgish. anything to english and it'll bypass it. well it does for our system at least cuz they pretty much blocked out all the bypassing sites

Have fun when you get caught and completely lose your access.
Can't you wait until you get home to check your email?

haha. my school uses Websense too..P5_Skylar said:
it's the most retarded filter because it blocks half the sites that I need to go to for class and it's because they're categorized as "tasteless."
what you have to do:
-go to tools
-internet options
-connections
-LAN settings
-change the ip address and/or the port # at the bottom to something like 192.168.0.1 port 8080
if you don't c+p the original ip + port #... you'll have to reboot for the settings to be restored
or altavista>translate webpage>chinese-simp to english
It took me 2 months of boredom in web page design to figure that crap out
Ok, after a day at school in different classes trying new things, i'll give you the summary. Hidemyass.com is blocked by websense. Babelfish lets me go to a website but when i try to login to the site (such as my email) it won't let me. I then got the brilliant idea of putting hidemyass in babelfish which works, but then when i have to verify by typing in the 4 letter code, the image doesnt appear so i dont know what to type. ...AND my internet options are blocked by the admin so i can't change the IP. any other ideas?

You can kill the preccess by CTRL + ALT +DEL and end task on it... however ircc you stated your schools acces is done on laptops via wifi right? If this is your personal laptop then its a Procxie server thats filtering you out. However if its the schools laptop you could always jsut disable the program in start up by going Start > run > msconfig startup table and disable all or each indavidually.... and I think the other tab is system and on thebottom says hide all microsoft items and then it will show you whats not a microsoft software tahts on start up you can disable with no worries.... However you can always just undo this by reenabling them again on restart. by going back into msconfig *becarefull in the tab to the left of the startup tab... I think thats the system tab i was telling you about.... you can diable anythign in the startup tab and not worry about anything.

They are all the schools laptops via wifi. Umm, i've thought of that but pretty much any settings are blocked by admin. On a lot of the laptops you can't even change the background let alone mess with the system config. I'm not even sure if they have a run button on the start menu. they took half the things off of it. I'll see if it works monday.
