straight up ownd.

I have to be on the other side of this argument.

School is for getting an education (however flawed the public education system may be... thats another topic) not for discussing gaming strategies.

I am sure you can wait until you get home to check your private messages.

I'm in my final year at school. It's all study for me, so no WM Expressway @ school. Although, I do have a lot of free periods, so sometimes, I get a bit cheeky and post a bit the guy that handles the internet @ our school doesn't care. He loves cars and such so he lets me see WM and other auto related forums. He also has a DeviantArt account too, which he checks at school so he can't block that either:D pure luck for me!

In my school lunch or break time
i usually opens WME

the university that I go can open all pages, tne only thing they don't like are the .torrents and download movies and music, because the ports are blocked.....

My workplace blocks WME for the same reason, since they use Websense as well. In fact, I made a thread a while back about it, complete with a screenshot:

Anyway, how to get around it depends on how your school's network is configured. At my workplace, the internet access is not determined by individual computers, so what you do to a computer will not gain you any more access than any other computer. You cannot counteract the Websense from the client side. For this situation, the best way to get around it (well... the only way) would be to set up a VPN into your home computer, then use your home computer as a sort of makeshift proxy server. After all, Websense blocks proxy sites. But if you create a DYNDNS account, it shouldn't be blocked. I know that my personal DYNDNS is not blocked at work. I just have yet to put a VPN in place. I'll be working on it this week.

Here's hoping I can get it done! <3 Hacking!

Gotta love word-based filters.

Some asshole can go on an otherwise innocent site, type in "sex," and bam--no more access to that site from schools or work!

even i also opened few games at me school by the PROXY server

All mainstream proxy servers are blocked by Websense. Which is why you have to use your personal computer and personal DNS as a proxy instead.

therers a program known as "U" that can bypass ALL filters.

it's supposedly designed for third world countries where the governments filters through all the news.

The program is in Chinese though, I think.

it would be useless if there filter the word using firewall as well ...

in my office ... the webs are filtered thorugh words using proxy and firewall ...

even u by pass the proxy ... u can nv by pass the outgoing firewall ...

when i was in highschool and i had this problem i just told my web teacher to unblock the site i wanted to go to cause he was the head server administrator for the school district.
somehow gamespot.com was blocked!! so i told him some of those proxy/myspace things and he unblocked GS! those stupid myspace users were pissed!
