I was just informed of this:
http://meeting.zoho.com/login.do?serviceurl=%2Fhome.do

Apparently it gets around our firewalls just fine so I am going to give it a trial tonight. If it works well Ill pay the $12 a month.

My school uses an external firewall that blocks any site even remotely related to enjoyment. Last year, they didn't find out about Racketboy, but this year, it's been blocked. I'm going to try to use Tor, but some other options would be nice as contingency. The computers there are far too slow to run an RDP, and it's a network computer, so any non-admin installed programs are immediately deleted after log out. I can't use my phone to browse because: 1. Cell phones are prohibited, and 2. The Wifi connection is password protected [they even managed to block the public Wifi access points!], and cell phone data networks get an unusably bad signal where I'm at.

It does need a program to run, and it is slow, but I will keep toying with it. If nothing else it would let you view the site. It was too slow when I tried to play Civ2.
