Visiting Blocked Sites?

Recently the IT dept has blocked a number of sites from our computers. It won't be long till my dept head will get our access back, but in the mean time how can I get to my favourite sites?

I have heard of a website you go to which will then allow you to go to anysite you want. I think it works by changing the address, so www.sau.com would become www.othersite.com/www.sau.com or somwthing like that.. but i can't find anything about such a site.

I can't install anything on the pc either.

Is there a fairly easy way to achieve this?

I don't really care if they can track it or not.

Thanks in advance...

I believe you are referring to a web proxy. You go to the proxy site then type the url of the site you want to go & it will attempt to load the url through a bunch of proxy severs. The ip of the proxy sites shows up instead of the real sites ip.

However most of these free proxy sites have all being black listed by the major filtering softwares so its not all that effective. I.E. these sites won't load on the computers @ uni, it will show up as being blocked as "illegal" stuff.

Heres a site with some free web proxy severs you can try your luck on Link

Yeah i hear using 7 proxies can work wonders...

umm try googling TOR nodes (can't remember the technical explanation, but i'm pretty sure the sickos on /b/ were using them for JB content etc, think it works on a similar system to a proxy)

at high school, we were able to get into sites thru google cache, or when all else failed, just looked up russian porn or whatever (filter can't read cyrillic lol)

try http://www.boomproxy.com I've used this before to get to SAU when it won't load behind some proxy servers at sites that I am at.

ssh tunnel through to proxy server at your home, basically tunnel through home connection using ssh or a vpn server.

good until they block your home IP :)

also if you can, RDP into your home computer and surf from there...sometimes the IT dept's forget to block that.

new proxies are popping up all the time so its hard to block them all. Something to consider is how much crap you'll be in if your work monitors web traffic and the IT department sees you hitting up proxies trying to get around the measures they've been told to put in place.

ones that most it firewalls etc wont capture

email to web gateways

tinyurl obstruction

running a httpd on your home pc and make it script up your favourite sites

get someone (or your home linux box) to run http proxy on TCP 53, some firewalls (and admins) allow 53 TCP out to any host as they believe its required for DNS operation (its not, only xfers)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
