- VeritasAequitas, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Thanks for putting these up guys, it saves me and the other IT guys from our school district tons of time finding them all ourselves! but we had already blocked all but a couple of them, as would any good net admin that really cared about these sort of sites.
- Nygma, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Yeah, sites like this are awesome...till you try to use it and your local admin, if (s)he's worth a damn, reads your log file and starts blocking everything on the list/gets you fired for violating IT policy.
- nuclearpenguins, on 10/12/2007, -11/+25Thanks! I'll be sure to add these to the filter.
- Gaferion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12LOL, i was just thinking that most people who prob use digg are in an IT field of some kind and that this list will probably be used mroe for 'evil' then 'good' (depending on what you consider good and evil ;-)
- Seng, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16It's even more fun for me - I work for a company that sells content filter systems to schools. This greatly reduced the amount of searching I have to do to find new proxies ;)
Thanks! - Gaferion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10LOL, any organization that blocks site access that the computer level is n00b and deserves to be bypassed ...
- Sparklehorse, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11I think this site holds the record for the most amount of links and the least amount of content that I have ever seen.
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I never got why people tried so hard to bypass the proxies at school. I mean, do you seriously want to look at porn in the middle of a 30 person programming class? Can't newgrounds.com and AIM wait until after school? I never fretted about the slightly limited choice of browsing material. It seems to me that computer departments in HS seem to have VERY strict punishments, and its not worth flouting the rules just to be different.
I graduated HS last year, and I was friends with one of the network admins there. It was quite obvious to both him and me that his supiriors were incompletent, and that the department was underfunded. They had enough trouble just keeping the 10 year old servers running, so they tended to be very severe with people trying to hack around the system, just so they didn't have to spend valuable time deciding fair punishments. - retral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You guys are pure evil..
I say this because my school blocks a lot of tech news sites that shouldn't be blocked; like digg, neowin, anandtech and slashdot, and other than my own personal proxy hosted on my site, there's no other way to read news (wtf is wrong with that?). - syberghost, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12http://tinyurl.com/2c9np
- snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5too bad none of the items in the list work at my school
(i'm at school) - theprodigy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I love how all of the maintainers of proxy blacklists are coming out of the woodwork to sound cool. It was funny the first five times someone said "Thanks for the help, now I'm gonna add all of these to Websense . . ." Now it's just unoriginal.
- RomeyRome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4And how are you going to get their MAC? I higly doubt any of them have SNMP running. Know something I don't?
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6My school uses Lightspeed... and that blocks anything with the word "proxy".
http://www.lightspeedsystems.com/ - RonDutt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I don't get why people who actually use a proxy from school/work (myself included) don't just set one up on their site or home PC? I mean, I have several sites and all of them have the proxy. I just rewrite the majority of the code that makes it appear as a proxy script and no one has found it in the 2 years that I have been using it.
Tips for setting your own up:
Usually CGI/Perl ones work better than PHP
Don't make the location obvious (domainname.com/proxy, use something like domainname.com/~roberts or health)
Go through the code with notepad (I use editpad pro) and erase all instances of the proxy name and the word proxy
If you're intelligent enough, rewrite some code so it doesn't appear as a proxy script rather than just a script that loads more pages on the server
Also, most blockers used at schools block on a domain basis, not IP. So grab a free re-director (dyndns, cjb, etc) and have it point to your IP. Always a good idea to have backups in case one of them gets shut down on a day you desperately need it.
A little trick I learned that should really work with any schools/corporations using the St. Bernard blocking services...Go to whatismyip.com and copy the IP into the proxy that IE or FF (or whatever browser is in use) should use, this usually skips the server the blocker runs on and gives you direct access to the outside server handling the actual web data.
For anyone who's wondering, I'm the student tech (unofficial) who goes around and blocks all the sites that are deemed inappropriate for school or a waste of bandwidth (usually gaming sites, myspace, etc). I have a lot of inside knowledge about the systems used.
Also if you set one up for a school or something, its best not to tell ANYONE! I told 2 people, 5 months later I hear on the bus that the "fubnet" patch (a little registry script I made that did the IP change proxy thing) stopped working. I check the logs for the domain name (I ditched the domain some good 6 months ago) and 99% of the hits it gets are from my school. I check NETBIOS and I see around 400 students using it and a few teachers :D lol - liquidedge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I appreciate all these people running proxies for us to use, really, I do. However, just by putting the word "proxy" in the url means that it is too easily blocked. C'mon people, let's think for a living here.
- Seng, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Any net admin worth his/her salt would set a group policy to lock the browser proxy setting down.
I set a forced proxy on 8080, and then firewall EVERYTHING except servers from port 80. So, even if you do change the proxy setting, you're still not going anywhere.
I wish I could actually work directly for a school instead of a content filter company... I'd have the kids soooo pissed at me! - CreepingDeath, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10Thanks, list added to my squid urldeny file. Keep posting these to Digg, makes my job (as a K12 network admin) much easier.
- sumrandommember, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6they easily can ;)
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4yeah not a one of these worked for me. I'm starting to think the IT guys at HQ read digg also...
- murrolems, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, great resource for Admins to add to filters!
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3don't forget hidemyass.com
- RomeyRome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It would be kind of dumb to do banking through any kind of run-of-the-mill public proxy.
- thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Reason:
The Websense category "Adult Content" is filtered.
- doctornakul, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4What I don't get is why people don't just look up a proxy that usually works (port 80 if everything else is blocked) at home, and come to school, download portable firefox (because typically the installed IE settings are locked, and you can't install real Firefox), and just type in your proxy. What I do, which may make it even harder to block, is use a proxy to access a site like logmein.com, where I can remote access my home computer. This is not only useful when it comes to looking at my email or whatever that's normally blocked, but if I forgot to take a paper to school, I just print it out right there from my home computer! As far as I know, it would be virtually impossible to block while keeping any access at all available. Another possibility I was considering is to simply VNC into my home computer, but since I have a dynamic IP address, it might prove cumbersome. All of this is from very limited access XP and 2000 boxes at high school.
- tylerni7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well if they were bypassed at the computer level, then webproxies wouldn't help you out...
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4BTW, someone brought this old screenshot I took a long time ago up in irc, sorry for the double-post but yeah, edit went poof..
http://mace.ws/education.jpg - fredinator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3make a circumventor if you want to have an unblocked proxy http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/simple-circumventor-instructions.html
- molecool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3BTW, careful with those russian proxies (I'm not sure they're on that list) - I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be used to extract passwords. Not a big deal if you're surfing for p0rn, but definitely an issue if you do your banking through a proxy.
- mgreenwald, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I want to find out how to bring down Websense.
- ogletree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2there is just too much spam for this to be usefull. Take it down.
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Mirror for those of you that are blocked from the original link
http://webpages.charter.net/ipitydafool718/ - retral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The maker of this site isn't very intelligent, a person HAS to think of negative consequences while making a site; ie.. the fact that all the network admins are going to see this page now too and have all the web filtering corporations add all of these to their lists now.. bleh
- friegh, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Doing the same right now :)
- Ericular, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@retral --
As a network administrator for a large school district, I want to mention a few things:
1) I don't decide what sites are blocked. If it comes to network security, I give my input -- but in the end, I'm not the guy you need to get pissed at.
2) Believe it or not, we're working on a limited budget with a relatively miniscule amount of bandwidth. Sites that actually have some relevance to education and the effeciency of teaching take a high priority. Just because it's not porn doesn't mean it should be sucking up bandwidth from legitimate and more useful web traffic.
3) Personally, I can't see grounds for blocking digg or other tech sites. I would take issue if those were ever blocked in our district.
4) Honestly, we are understaffed and overworked. I'm not complaining, because I enjoy the challenges and daily variety that working on a tight budget brings with it. I mention it to convey that we don't always have time to drop everything and make sure all the high school students are happy with the web filtering. We're paying big bucks for another company to categorize hundreds of thousands of web sites into relatively generic categories, because we don't have the time to do it. The filtering companies aren't perfect, and many categorizations they make are debatable for certain -- but I don't have time to debate. "Pretty good" filtering is worlds better than no filtering.
5) I genuinely feel that digging proxy lists will get them blocked all the sooner. The more publicity they get, the sooner they'll make it onto the major filtering companies' control lists. If you found a way to circumvent a web filter -- yee haw! Pat yourself on the back. Telling thousands of people how to do it just makes it more obvious for us network Nazis that something's fishy.
Just trying to be honest and tell my side of the issue. Comments? - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2www.EatMoreBlueberries.com
www.MushRoomIceCream.com
www.StupidCensorship.com - retral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My school caught on to that, as well as google cache.
- mikechml, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3SSH tunnelling usually works pretty well :)
- shrapnull, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I don't see how these will help anyone. Most filters nowadays are 1) Gateway proxies (can't disable on local computer) 2) Automatically updated by vendor (WebSense, N2H2 Bessie) 3) Detect proxy sites and block them now 4) LOGGED!!!
AKA your ass is still pwnd. - BlindIrishman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thats what I do, but I don't see why you would start telling people. I always tell bystanders that if they aren't smart enough to get past the filters without garbage like freeproxy they don't deserve to know.

lol I might be that kid :p - djisamsoe, on 01/21/2009, -0/+1nice proxy...thanks for sharing mate...
try this site...http://hidethisnow.info/ - cviebrock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2BugMeNot2: why not make a CNAME under a different domain?
yxorp.mydomain.com IN CNAME real.proxy.domain.com - mamproxy, on 12/09/2008, -0/+1try http://www.myspaceproxyforschool.com
http://www.myspaceproxy1.cn - ipodman715, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have a server on my computer at home. Should I use PHProxy or CGI? How do you make a CGI one? I have Apache running on it.
(I have: http://elitesf.no-ip.info/poxy/ set up but it doesn't work :( - cablemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2note to self....record the MAC addresses and IPs of all these sites so they can't be used to spoof traffic off of...
- plamoni, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2BugMeNot2.... Why not just reference the proxy server via IP address then?
- jbestrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not all of us are in school trying to bypass the school network. I'm at work and there are times when I am stuck and need to take my mind off of things, this is where digg comes in. Problem being is that some of the articles I would like to read are blocked by websense. That would be my main reason for trying to bypass admin stuff. I mostly just use VNC to log into home computer and browse that way.
