How do I get around my school's filter?

Question

They block EVERYTHING! Even Wikipedia! They're having a power trip, and it's pissing me off! They've blocked every proxy I can think of, they've even blocked us from putting the WORD proxy in search engines. I'm at school right now, so any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Go to the teacher in charge and ask them to enable wikipedia, cause it's an educational source.
My college does the same, there's no other way of getting round it, but to ask a teacher to allow a site.

Answer 2

It's really a shame that they've blocked wikipedia. I'd write a letter to your principal inquiring exactly why they have blocked wikipedia. There is definitely some stuff in there that they might be uncomfortable with students accessing but there's stuff just as bad in your library if you know where to look.

Wikipedia is really one of the best resources on the internet and if they don't think students can be trusted to use that then they shouldn't offer the internet at all.

Here's a hint, China censors Wikipedia as well. Start asking your school what the specific content on Wikipedia is causing it to be blocked.

Answer 3

Stop your whinning!

Your school blocks sites for very good reasons and they have every right to. There is not a thing you can do about it except complain, like you are now.
Do you personal browsing at home on your Own computer so you can mess it up and your Parents can fix it.

You will get busted if youu continue to try to access blocked sites. You School's IT dept. has monitoring software they use to see every PC and exactly everything that is typed, click on and done on every PC, they know about it.
If you try to use a proxy, they will know.

Think you are mad now...wait until you get caught and see how mad you are then. You WILL get caught eventually if you continue to try to access blocked sites.

Give it up. Or prepare for the consequences.
