ways to avoid 'web nanny' software

yo!
So I'm on a work computer, and I can't access sites like gamespy because of a program called 'Interweb' - is there a way to bypass these programs which block certain pages without being an administrator etc.?
Many thanks.

 

Well Yes and No.

Reason I say this, is I too have the same problem.

As far as hacking goes...sorry, can't help.

All it is, is a filter. I don't know or think there is any way around that, unless you go through the proxy settings and go that route. Because if it is blocked for you, it is blocked for everyone else.

If you have any other info, post it up and I will see what if I can help, cause I know that I have found ways around it.

 

try https://proxify.org it gets past the one at my school.

 

HOLY CRAP!

How in the world did you come across that?

 

phillipman, you're a legend mate. Good on ya - (the only issue is the subscription which unfortunately cuts in every now and then) Many thanks!

 

...though I should really just subscribe I know... =)

 

yeah I use it to play games at school and use e-mail, because for some reson they block it.
this one works too http://www.guardster.com/
As does this one https://webproxy.kaxy.com/index.php, the thing is my school would block the websites we would use so we had to keep finding more of them.

 

I wanted to run P2P on my college PC, they have a 10mbit line so its really fast, however I downloaded a few programs to help but none of them worked.. kinda sucks ny ideas?

 

Hey indienemo,

What programs did you download?

 

I cant really remember now it was a couple of weeks ago...

I think the one I got best results with (5 seconds worth of d/l at 235kbps) was called 'HTTP Tunneler', but my memory could have failed me utterly..

 

Ok...

Well it might just be the ports that you can't connect too.

You will have to see what can and cannot get through.

My advice, you might be able to use BitTorrent if you are looking for a p2p app, cause all the other ones are probably blocked.

Any more info you can provide?

 

I tried Bittorrent and various clients... i think every port except network ports are blocked

 

However we do play newtork games on the college network.... : Half life, Unreal T, and others...

 

Try this...

Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt

Type in:

netstat -an

And look for port 6667, I think that is the port to connect for p2p networks and IM clients to work, but don't quote me on it.

Sounds like a simple issue, cause if you are all playing game on a lan, or however, you are connecting somehow.

I am no expert on this, but check that first.

 

I would not download stuff on a college PC, you could get caught.

 

@philipman

Speaking of which...you all check that article on the cracking down of p2p users in colleges?

you do they target college kids most of them don't have any $ thats why they download stuff.

 

Your preaching to the choir here.

I think the MP and RIAA are ridiculous for doing this.

What! Do they think they are going to stop them while they are young or something?! LOL!

 

thats most likly there angle but sueing someone in college is not cool, they are trying to get there lives started they do not need someone sueing them on top of that.

 

They probably are going to sue the colleges as well, because they are using THEIR network.

Me smells a conspiracy theory going on here.

Kinda strange, doesn't it seem?
