I recently made a forum of my own, so that i could chat to my friends without needing to all be online at the same time. Anyway, the url they gave me was pretty complicated, so i remembered a site i had used for hosting a few years ago, also did redirecting. In it's normal address, my forum is blocked on the school computers, but when i redirected it from a url i had registered - www.**.cjb.net - it worked fine! I'm pretty sure you can redirect a subdomain to ANY website around, so try it! go to www.cjb.net and think of a name of something, for example cola, and it will appear as www.cola.cjb.net - great! Just make sure you click on the box "hide original url", and it should work!
There are probably more sites you can do this on, but, it's a way of doing it i would have never thought!

Thanks

Jon

P.S www.**.cjb.net IS my forum, however, don't try to access it, as i have to give permission to people to view it!
 
I agree. This should be in the computers forum.

That will not, however, circumvent all website restriction applications. My old school system had one which was near impossible to circumvent. The only way was to go to some site which I have forgotten (as its been near 4 years since I messed with it) and load it through that site. That way was pretty crappy as it wouldn't load any of the images or anything but it worked.
 
Good point, it probably should be in computers forum, but i felt it was a bit random, and there were far more complicated was of doing it that worked better.
 
Umm, My school blocked every proxy i could find, you just gave me 2 more to try...
Btw, jreay is your school using RM Community Connect 3... Just so i don't get my hopes up..
*MSNM at school :)*
 
Our school has deleted the messenger program, we used to use netmeeting and they then deleted that, then we used webmessenger and then they blocked that!

So instead, i have 3 or 4 different links to my forum, and if one gets blocked, i just move onto the next. Providing they don't block cjb.net
 
Worked on ours for a while

We use rm comunity connect 3 for the system, but we have this symantec thing for blocking sites, and they block access at lunch times unless you ask for permission

Btw this site is blocked :grumpy:
 
My school is really bad.........they have blocked literally in intire web......and block by case.....like I used to be able to get onto GTP.......but they screen the websites people visit, they found it was a forum and blocked it (didnt get in trouble or anything).......eventhough im probably the only one on GTP in the school!......always looking for new proxy thingys to bypass this......they are constantly being blocked though!
 
me and about half my class narrowly faced suspension. the district found it.

mine is no longer good in livonia school systems....damn websense blocked everything on google and yahoo. i wish they didnt have those damn crawlers

anyways as for the chat...get some small hosting with cpanel and fantastico, then install phpbb and download a chat hack. its quite useful thats how me and my friends talk. but you have to refresh it by posting.

if you feel like it join my forum and check it out. it takes a while if you do the sql coding by hand (for me at least)

Hey everyone. post what protection system your school uses

Mine uses websense
 
I don't really see why people are complaining about and trying to find ways to circumvent the security programs. You're at school to learn, not to surf the web. Granted, I did alot of surfing the web in my computer classes, but that was because I had finished my work way early and didn't have any work (for other classes) to do. If a website is blocked, its blocked for a reason. You will get suspended for circumventing the security system in place in my old school system, as it should be.

Also, most school computers don't allow you to install programs on their hard drive for obvious security reasons. So for most people your chat solution won't work. I used AIMExpress while I was in class if I needed to talk to someone and it worked perfectly.
 
exactly. most of us finish work early therefore want something to do. many districtsdont have good games but all the online games are blocked. And aim express doesnt work with my districts
 
I tried my "great" method, and no matter what i did, symantec saw through the disguise. I also tried nonymouse.com and other similar stuff, and it saw through that too. It's just too tough to crack.
 
yeah, my school blocks all private proxy things too.

Yeah, my school blocks a couple, and the ones that aren't blocked, don't work anyway. Shame really.
 
Ok i need some help. My school blocks anonymous proxies, sees through url shortening, and won't allow exe files to open unles they have been varified by the admin panel. So all hope of portable firefox is gone. Unless i can find some way of running it without using an exe file. Any ideas?

My school uses Symantec, every now and again it get militant. Culminating in one week 7 months ago where it banned Google, Ask, BBC, CNN, and Amnesty international. It made schoolwork impossible and in the end it had to be overridden by our IT department literrally reinstalling it.

But do not lose hope, there are ways of defeating it.

Unlike most filters it uses a combination of keywords and Meta Tags rather than a list of URLs, edit the source code and host websites you want to view yourself.

Or if your school uses it in conjunction with a monitoring program, you could hack that for administrator rights, not only will you have a way around the filter, but you can also see what your classmates are typing.

You could also look here for information from peacefire about cracking symantec's I gear
