alright, i knwo there is resons for having blocked sites in high schools, but sometimes it sucks. there was a website called www.proxy7.com where you could create an anonomousy proxy server off their siteand then get on to any site. but now the school has gotten wind of that, and now has blocked that site.
does anyone know any other sites that do the like so that we can have our freedom to look at stuff, like http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/cardrifting.html in school? |

show why the sites you want to access are needed to fulfill your curriculum requirements, and you'll get access to what you need.
otherwise, stop trying to use tax money for playtime. (just my OT opinion, since you ask ...) |

It's a losing battle. I'm sure someone is closely watching what sites are being visited and a proxy service like the one you mentioned will show up quickly since everything you do gets routed through there.
At least that's what happened to me at work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Kids, stay in school and just say NO! |

Hmmm... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) I wonder why the school does not want sites like this available to kids?
Maybe it is cause they want you to learn how to drive responsibly? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) or Maybe it is the free condom link... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sheeplove.gif) |

Instead of using your spare time for questionable (albeit creative) purposes, why not spend a little time and effort learning how to write and spell correctly. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Geez...and I spent my time hacking the Apple Basic code for my Business Law class so that my team could win a contest.
Seriously, this will end up being a cat and mouse game for you forever with the school's IT team. Plus, be careful of the consequences if you keep yanking their chain (i.e. finding a different proxy, getting blocked, finding another proxy, getting blocked, finding yet another proxy, getting sent to the principal's office). I know this may sound too much like an old person, but your education is much more valuable than watching drifting videos....and I like to watch those also!!

Back to the topic, stop monkeying with the security system at your school. They are trying to comply with Federal Law. Surf for that stuff at home. |

Give the kid a break! I'm sure he can write and spell just fine, but dosn't feel the need to capitalize or correct his typos. Who died and made you "teacher"? |

Go to www.eff.org and read about Tor. (the O in Tor is an onion in the logo) You should be able to get it to do what you need. While you're there you might want to read and/or do something about other infringements on your privacy and liberty.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) The other guys are right too: Try and learn some stuff as well - it's easier to buy bigger and more powerful cars if you're in a good career making bank - and learning a lot is a pretty decent way of getting there (broadly speaking). |

I still have a couple of those! My Ex went to the local JC in the late 70s and used punch cards, and my oldest son had a Sinclair computer when he started out. The Trash 80 came out a little later, IIRC. The Cap'n |

how's about you not concern yourself with defeating the school's internet policy and staying on task. like... STUDYING, AND DOING YOUR SCHOOL WORK? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

about the same time, yes ... we got the TRS in school in '78 ... funny bit of trivia about the 8" floppy drive, the read/write head was the size of a matchbook and was moved over the floppy by a large metal spindle the thickness of my index-finder. if you took off the cover you could watch it work and it reminded me of some medieval torture machine ... before that, we used punchcards ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) Andy PS: now back on topic. take it from a "every school possible" dropout, here's my bit of advice: carpe diem while you're there, you might as well learn something. 10 years from now, you'll be really glad you did! |

My dad bought me a Timex Sinclair 1000 as my first computer, then we stepped up to a TI-99/4A, I remember when we got the floppy drive for it, whoo hoo!!! We had TRS-80s in Jr High, and I couldn't wait to get to HS where they had a lab of Apple II computers!!! Ahh those were the days.
