How do I use IP addresses at school to check my MySpace or Yahoo Mail?

Question

Maybe I am using the wrong question but I am trying to find a list of proxy servers that you type in the LAN Connection address bar on internet options. A couple of guys at my school usually gives them to us but I want to know how do they find them. Our school has SURF CONTROL MOBILE FILTER installed on all of the laptops that they give us and it disables us from going to sites like: MySpace, Facebook, Yahoo Mail, etc.

Answer 1

I know you don't want to hear this, but you can't and you shouldn't even try because that is against the acceptable use policy at your school. They have sites blocked for a reason and trying to bypass their security will get you banned from using any of their their computers and probably even suspended or expelled. They track everything you do and you will get caught.

Answer 2

Your question doesn't make sense, which suggests that you don't understand what the problem actually is.

Please explain what the symptoms of the problem are, then we can try and offer some advise.

What are you trying to do?
What steps do you take to do it?
What happens?
What did you expect to happen?

EDIT:

Ok, that's a lot clearer now. A quick google for proxy servers revealed the site below that lists a great number of public proxy servers.

I wouldn't worry too much about your school "tracking everything you do" as suggested below - if they don't have the technical savvy to lock-down these laptops properly, I doubt they have the ability to do any effective monitoring.

I hope this helps.

I'm not actually sure... but I know that if you type in 'mail.yahoo.com' instead of 'www.yahoo.co.uk/mail' you can get to yahoo mail, evading the filters.
