    I was wondering if anyone knows any software that i can either put on my flash drive or install on my home computer, so i can access the internet unrestricted at college. If possible able to use flash and javascript aswell.

    Thanks

    These machines are locked down solid.. users don't have run programs or install program rights. Not your hardware.. You have to live with it, or look for open web proxies that aren't on the lists (yet)

    Also the network will have a serious blocklist of sites (via usually running their own restricted dns server) or ip's that are on a banlist.

    Something like this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_filter

    Attempting to get past the restrictions will be seen as unauthorised tampering and will usually lead to a ban from ALL school computers.
    It happens.. I can give names of members of this site who have nearly been expelled for trying to hack the college network filters.

    You may not be aware, but when you log into a machine on the network it will log everything you try to do.. in a file only viewable by the administrators. Attempting to install software will usually flag your account for inspection.. be careful.

    Believe it or not, college and governemnt school computers aren't actually just some store-bought OS. The OS has actually been redesigned to keep people out of it. I know it sucks.
