How do you bypass cyberpatrol?

Question

I need help from all the nerds out there. :o

I use computers at the library sometimes and for some odd reason it blocks sites that it shouldn't be blocking so I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get past it.

I've tried asking a librarian, she said its against the rules to let people (even adults) use sites that are blocked. Even normal sites like myspace or netscape.

Answer 1

If you're willing to risk compromising any "reputation" you may have at your local library, there are indeed ways to bypass a blocked site.

The first way is called a proxy server. This fools the site block into thinking you're only at one site, when in fact, you're surfing anywhere you want to. The easiest kind of proxy is one such as http://www.userbeam.com/ , which "beams" you to different websites without having to configure your computer to connect to a proxy server from the network preferences.

Another way is to find a web-translating service, such as Google, and translate the website "from English to English". This also fools the site block.

Finally, Google's cache will fool the site block. Search your site, and instead of clicking the large link at the top of the result, click the "cached" link at the bottom of the result. This is not actually the website, but an archived "functional snapshot" from Google.

I hope that these suggestions may assist you in your block-evading ways.

Answer 2

Complain to the library. Bypassing the blocking software requires admin access to the machine and if they have their system properly set up, you don't have that level of access anyway so instructions would be worthless.

If they are blocking at the gateway, there's no way to get past it from the computers even if you have local admin access.

Many libraries also have a machine or two reserved for adult use that is not blocked. Ask about that as well.

Answer 3

You could ask the teachers to review the website, also, if you know what your doing, and provided that the OS isn't some special version, you can reboot into safe mode and try to uninstall the program. Note: Safe Mode only works on Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows xp, and Windows Vista (Beta 2 version). To boot into safe mode, restart the computer. When the computer manufacturer's logo shows up, start hitting F8 repeatedly until an menu shows up with a lot of options. Choose safe mode. When Windows boots, try to log into the Administrator account, hoping it doesn't have a password. If not, try logging in to another account. Then go to control panel, and click add remove programs. Then go down to cyberpatrol and uninstall.

That should fix it. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me.

Answer 4

If you an adult, the librarian should allow you to bypass cyberpatrol. Can not hurt to ask!
