- swaxhog, on 10/19/2007, -0/+13If you want to access your files, try Foldershare.com which Microsoft bought a few months ago, it works quite well.
If you want to bypass proxies, there are two ways I do it. Remote desktop to your pc or what I like, use your home pc as a proxy gateway. You can even play WoWarcraft this way if you want.
Install openssh on your pc at home, change the port to 443 in the config file. Forward 443 on your router to your internal ip.
Run putty from work/school and ssh to your home ip address (www.whatismyip.com) on port 443. If you can do that, you're almost there.
Create a tunnel in putty
source port: 3390
destination: localhost:3389
Now you can run remote desktop and connect to localhost:3390 to attach to your home pc.
For a proxy, install squid or delegate on your home pc. squid's port is 3128. So once it is install/configured, change your browser proxy to use localhost 3128. You can test at home using localhost 3128 and if you can browse it's working.
Don't forget to add the tunnel in putty
source port 3128
destination: localhost:3128
Without squid you could create a tunnel for a specific web site
source port: 5410 (anything unique here)
destination: www.coolmodeewebsite.com:80
Then in a browser type: localhost:5410 and watch the majic! - airedale, on 11/01/2007, -0/+9No Digg here...
I am an Administrator in a school district - our filters block it! 403ed! - mkelley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow, thanks for giving me another site to block in my firewall. We don't want the users getting around what we're putting in place ;)
- mattcohn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Then firewall / web-blocking companies at your work or school will add "virtual-browser.com" to their block list, and it won't work. There are thousands like this on the web... just search for "Web based proxy".
Digg-- - spamdies, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The information is decrypted locally, if your network admin is smart he can still see where you have been by your profile. earns the "risk getting fired" warning.
- TheRealStyro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There is almost always the end-user end-game scene - cell modem card & account & personal laptop or PDA. The bills will keep you from [ab]using the service and the support/network group naz^h^h^h admins won't know unless you tell them (and then it is personal equipment not using company resources).
Whenever I have to resort to hacks to get around stupid company policies, I try to be very ethical about it. For example, I may be going to check my personal email (only when expecting something that cannot be sent to work & only checking once every two hours), or I need a file from my home system, or need to add a show to my PVR, or add a movie to Netflix. If I cannot get to a website with a technical article I usually get send an email reminder to myself. In general, do not be evil & use sparingly when the need arises to go around filters. - Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll digg this, so i can remember to block it when i get to work.
- deadkenny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Apart from the fact the site is dead (digg factor?), network admins can still easily see what you are doing using remote monitor apps. Many corporates and schools can and do this kind of thing where they are basically just getting a live dump of what's on your screen using a hidden app on your PCs.
Also, their logs are going to show a connection to the site even if they can't see the actual traffic, and that may be enough alone to violate company policies as it shows an intent to bypass network security policies.
As for the product itself, there are hundreds of products that can get around firewalls and blocked websites in one way or another. It will be interesting to see what (if anything) is unique here... ;-)
Oh, and it's impossible to be totally anonymous. There is always a way to track you down even if it takes a police raid on their servers to obtain records or other covert means of tracking you. The level of anonymity is just a factor of how determined and resourceful certain authorities are.
P.S. Google "google translator proxy" if you want a free proxy that will get around some website blocking systems ;-) - NGliam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I used this about 10 months ago. It worked great until eventually everybody in school knew about it, and someone got caught using it by a teacher - God I wish I'd kept it to myself =
Nice though, there are a few others: www.proxify.net, http://proxy.computersteroids.com, www.unipeak.com - and of course you can use something such as Babelfish to "translate" the page from any given language into English and use it as a faux proxy. - kevin_ou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As TheRealStyro pointed out you can use VNC software (ultravnc.sourceforge.net) but you have to configure port forwarding on your router. A more simple solution (and easier) is to set up a free logmein (www.logmein.com) account that doesn't require port forwarding. Install it on your home PC and login to it from your work browser and browse the Internet freely. I used it to beat Websense at work.
- bloodguard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just setup and use SSL Explorer and squid on your home machine.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sslexplorer
SSL (port 443) vpn. Nice and simple.
[I still know what you're doing and where you're going though - love, your net admin] - LilGator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mmmkay, in this context we're assumming we're dealing with a pesky web filtering system. Not people like yourselves who have nothing better to do than detect SSH signatures ...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just put one up a week ago.
www.WebsiteRedirect.com
Doesnt contain any blacklisted words, and its running the newest version of the jmarshall cgi proxy on a 100mb box. Very fast, and SSL coming this weekend.
www.WebsiteRedirect.com - bubba., on 10/12/2007, -0/+1tunneling your web traffic through ssh to a host running a squid proxy server will bypass pretty much any detection from a network admin. The only way they could detect it would be to be performing local keystroke logging on your machine or unless they check your history (configure Firefox to clear these on exit). Actually, tunneling anything through ssh (remote desktop to a home machine, vnc, etc) pretty much bypasses detection. The tunnel is encrypted and it is going over an ssh port. The only thing they could say is "why are you pulling X amount of data over ssh".
- takeda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Try connecting to ssh using telnet. Very first thing you see it's in plain text.
I think that's what he was talking about. - Silve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Remember Network Admins read digg. kthx
- jaysern, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hypnotiq - actually, if employee X passes by employee Y's cube, and Y is surfing pr0n - X could sue the company for being exposed to that kind of material. Companies wanna limit their legal liability.
- takeda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1443 is not blocked, because it's used by https... A lot of sites uses https...
If only 80 is open you can have tunnel on port 80.
It's good to try other ports; in my college they blocked 22, but have unblocked bunch of other ports like AOL IM (5190).
21, 8080, 23, 6667 are also good ports to try out...
You can often detect which port is open, measuring how long does it take telnet command to tell you that it cannot make the connection.
To admins: guys, there is one million + 1 ways of bypassing all blocades. If somebody really wants to bypass them, that person will do it, it's just a matter of time. It just annoys regular students. I once used computer in library (it's set up so you cannot execute any of your programs, you cannot use task manager and it has a bunch of other restrictions), and the MS Word (of course) freezed while I was writing my essay. I couldn't do anything, because task manager was blocked I couldn't kill word and try to recover file. The system was pretty much freezed so only ctrl+al+del worked and only available option I had to log off.. After doing that I learned that all files in my profile are deleted.
Since I have unix box running 24/7 I set up an ftp account just for my school work, so I could access my files. Also I knew that Office tools can write/read directly through FTP.
Since firewall was badly set up (for some strange reason I could see contents of the directory, but I couldn't download/save any file), I needed to find a way around that. I found mindterm applet, it has nice feature to set up a ftp proxy, so my ftp server could be seen as localhost, and that would bypass all firewalls, also my connection would be safer since ssh sessions are encrypted, I don't know if there are student's sniffing packets.
Everything would be perfect, but MS Word uses internet settings of explorer, and admin set up the IE to pass all connection through proxy (even to localhost).
I sent e-mail to the administrator, asking to change that setting so I could use my server as a remote storage for my HW. Of course he refused, because he said that's the policy (how turning off proxy for localhost connection could affect policy?)
That basically motivated me to find another solution to that problem, eventually I found way of bypassing all security restrictions enforced, and best of all I didn't even need to crack administrator's password. I need only 2 minutes to do it, and I can turn off pretty much everything (including proxy :) - talledega500, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1unblock anything with this
http://www.mysecureisp.com - Bistromaths, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is beyond cool for anyone in a firewalled area. Haven't tested it yet at school, but i woulda thought it would work.
- n8han, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1God, you network administrators are such losers...
- Rikushix, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1I can't connect to the site.
- Guspaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is not nearly as good a solution as running an HTTP proxy over Hamachi. Hamachi can get through most firewalls and NAT routers (On both ends, using voodoo magic) that allow outgoing UDP (Most schools, for example, only block common outgoing UDP ports, such as games, not all of them), it is an encrypted P2P VPN. By running an HTTP proxy over Hamachi (assuming you can make the connection) you bypass any and all local restrictions. Since your traffic is encrypted, nobody knows what you are doing. And because it is an HTTP proxy, it works with every web site with 100% compatibility, unlike this "virtual" solution.
- LilGator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Get yourself a remote shell and ssh into it. Tunnel all your internet traffic through it ... ain't nothin' a network admin can do then ...
- Codename, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LoLz my school has proxy's blocked, and I can't go in manually through advanced settings and connect through a proxy, lol, because of admin settings :D
- Pr0cess, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I used a Program called JAP,it is by far the best there is. But the heat will come because there is no way to block it on the admin end. I had the Head of IS Security come pay me a visit lol. I think they only found out that i was using the prog is because i decided to turn my bloody cookies back on,was getting sick of signing in to all my forums :D
- Silve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1To LilGator. Probably should check into things before you being insulting. I don't sit at work and detect signatures, I said there are "devices" that detect these signatures for me and just like web filtering products, all I do is tell it to block the signature. Don't hate me because I prevent you from browsing porn, or downloading viruses that will cause me to work a weekend, trying to clean up the mess you started. Security is my concern and it's my job. Funny, that you would think I sit there and read packets all day, you crack me up.
- bob7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Our school district firewall is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.
"Teacher: So you finally fixed the firewall?
Network guy: Yes, we're blocking hotmail and all the other web-mails now, too.
Teacher: Can you monitor the network traffic?"
Network guy: Yep, we can see exactly what anyone is browsing.
Teacher: Ok, what am I looking at?
Network guy: Uhhhh..... Hotmail. - geeoye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1try this to bypass school or work's firewall
http://www.hidemyass.com/ - liquidedge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think that it's funny that people are offering solutions to getting around firewalls by doing stuff that uses ports that are usually blocked on a corporate firewall.
- callmejordy265, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1my school uses Websense.
but it blocks proxies
"The Websense category "Proxy Avoidance" is filtered"
anyone know how to get past this?
- areric, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1see the brilliant problem here is that this will work great.. right up until the office blocks the virtual-browser site anyway. Which mine already did.
- unexplainedmilk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I used these stupid php/cgiproxy sites my freshman year of high school (I'm now a junior) and this year I'm just using Proxy+ (www.proxyplus.net) because guess what, during my lunch time I don't want to be reading up on the next by ....I want to play pictionary at www.isketch.net or 4 Wheel Fury at www.shockwave.com. I don't browse porn, try to download viruses, or anything else...just read from sites deemed inappropriate (Maddox is classified as tasteless by Websense) and a few web based games; I save the good stuff for home ...who the hell wants to watch porn at school or work anyways? I need to be in a comfortable space for that. ;)
- Gimpicus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've read most of the posts here, most of the posts are about getting past Internet filters, like Content Keeper.
Some websites that can get past these filters are. http://unipeak.com/ http://www.unipeak.net/ http://www.webwarper.net/ These have helped me get past most of the filters.
There are a few posts about using SSH, Putty, etc. I am not familiar with these programs so i was wondering if someone could explain to me a little more simpler, maybe a step by step, with screen shots maybe. With the links to the programs to download. For this:
If you want to access your files, try Foldershare.com which Microsoft bought a few months ago, it works quite well.

My email is Temmis001@hotmail.com if you want to send me an email or can you post of this topic.
Thanks in advance. - Gimpicus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Posted Below, my mistake
- dase818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.scienceprogram.org ! Yea!
- dase818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Try http://home.comcast.net/~dase818 .... It doesn't contain the word proxy and won't get blocked by the keyword filters.
- Sabre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmm...half the time, I just throw in the IP address of the site and it works...although not every time. This looks like a good alternative, then...
- codyr1951, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0something that I used for a LONG time before they blocked it at my school is I added ".redirect.keljob.com" after the blocked url... for example: http://www.b3u.net.redirect.keljob.com (b3u.net is an anonymizer which allows you to go to myspace.com!!) most e-mail hosts don't work though... like hotmail. But try gaming sites like http://www.freeaddictinggames.com.redirect.keljob.com . I hope it works for you!! let me know how it goes!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow, they installed PHProxy! yay I did the same thing. My school blocked it weeks later
- sequins1704, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey---my school has blocked that link----can someone whos isnt blocked please like post the links or email them to me. i really really want the one thats like KingProxy. its one of the links in there. thanks
- helloppl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0all some ,
:-( school admin blocked it last week :-( - myspacewhore1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ok, this was a good idea, but the only thing about it is, my school blocked all the web proxies, so could someone please make me one and send it to me? SwitchfootJunkie08@yahoo.com i would REALLY appreciate this.
- Hoodak06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How do you use Google to do that??? I don't understand.
- Kirru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yea same here. my school blocks all public proxies. we have the secureist connection. The only thing they hadn'tfixed was the wireless laptop cart. i take my laptop to school and i connect to it, even though i'm supposedly not able to, lol. Anyway could some one please help me?
- PLUSMATTHEW360, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I FOUND A NEW EASY WAY TO GET PAST WEBSENSE OR ANY OTHER SCHOOL FILTER. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO GOOGLE.COM AND SEARCH FOR A SITE CALLED MEGAPROXY. IT SHOULD BE THE FIRST SITE ON THE LIST, BUT DONT CLICK ON IT YET. IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT OF WHERE IT SAYS MEGAPRXY.COM IT SHOULD SAY CACHED. IF YOU CLICK ON THAT IT SHOULD TAKE TO THE WEBSITE. KNOW THAT YOU ARE THERE SCROLL DOWN AND IT SHOULD SAY "TRY IT FREE". CLICK ON THAT AND IT WILL ASK YOU WHAT SITE YOU WANT TO GO TO AND IT WILL TAKE YOU THERE.
- dany2010, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hi, a;ll of these sites are blocked, ny1 got anymore, if not how do you make a website to get around firewalls then we can just keep creating them as soon as they are blocked
- zshaffer12345, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey i tried all them websites they did not work
- Tilters, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey guys...i have for the past year or so figured out several ways to get past websense. the 1st way is to find the URL of the website youre trying to access to do that go to command prompt type in ping [space] and the website address exp.
ping www.yahoo.com
Reply from 68.142.226.44
the 68.142.226.44 is what youre looking for. after that type in the URL it'll be several numbers then you can put that in the address bar...it doesnt work every time for me it only worked for a while.
another thing you can do is find a web based proxy, two that worked for a loooong time was www.doxyproxy.com and www.merletn.org/anonymizer but if those dont work try these:

now...if any of those dont work or if you want something easier what you can do is use one of the websites above and type in aliveproxy.com at this website look for a proxy that has "high anonymity" which will make surfing the internet much faster
OR you can try typing in https:// instead of http:// one of the sites i try to get into while in school is
http://www.ultimatebaseballonline.com but if i type that websense will block it...but i found out that if i put it under security it works exp.
https://www.ultimatebaseballonline.com i have to warn you that it doesnt work for every website.
have fun...
