My school still hasn't blocked this site.

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

My school still hasn't blocked this site.

Post by newt42 »

My school has blocked pretty much every website that could possibly be related to fun except this one. All the proxy sites I know are blocked. They can however track down websites that students have gone too, and then block those sites. They can also get a print out of what kids have typed in a session. Its only a matter of time.

Yet another great thing about keeping a small community. :)

What school do you go to? Is it a high/middle school? I would be surprised if a college blocked this or other sites.

Lucky. My school blocked this site. I'm posting from school right now only because I'm using Tor to bypass the content filter. But this site did remain unblocked for a long time at my school.

You should use Putty on a USB key to set up a SOCKS proxy over SSH to your home computer. Then they can't track anything.

Either that or set up Apache on a home computer as your own private proxy. Make sure to use SSL with authentication so 1) the school can't track you and 2) no one else can abuse your proxy.

Hmm, I guess the keylogger would be a problem though. Maybe boot a live USB key linux distro? They probably disabled that in the BIOS though.

Hatta and I are on the same page.

When I went to highschool, the pc techs weren't smart enough to keylog so when a site got blocked we just switched proxies. Hell, they even blocked Google for a week.

I havnt been in highschool in....several years, longer than this site has been up, but...our school never blocked anything lol. There were several adult sites that worked and...I dont know how many of you remember this, but buzzchat...more or less just enter a name and go chat, was also never blocked. Many of my computer classes "typing" were actually talking with friends.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

My highschool used IBM PS/2 Model 25s with dual floppies in most of the labs. The library got a brand new Imac my junior year. It was great, there was a cable modem, but only 10 or so computers that could use it.

My old highschool blocked this site (anything with the word game in it) but the techs were stupid and only did the block in Internet Explorer. I just installed firefox onto a USB drive and and I had access to everything.
