Ever sit in school wanting to check out your Facebook page, go onto Youtube, or search words on Urban Dictionary, only to find that they're blocked by the network administrator? Yeah, we've all had that moment where we face that horrible message telling us we're not permitted to view a site for whatever reason. Proxies work at times but a smarter filter will weed out these proxy's one at a time. Irritating stuff!
I, however, have found a way around this! Through a fair bit of searching online, I seem to have come across the solution! There are a couple of ways, but I'll show you the easiest and most effective way to combat the pesky filter.
Please note: It is against the rules to bypass the school filter and can get you into trouble. Once you know the risks involved and the potential trouble you can get into if you get caught though, feel free to go for it.. Just don't blame me if it goes pear-shaped! From experience, most teachers don't even pay attention anyway..
What you'll need:
- A USB stick with about 2MB free space.
- A computer with a web filter you wish to bypass.
How to:
The best way to bypass these filters is to use a proxy server called 'UltraSurf'. It seamlessly bypass filters and leaves no trace to suggest that a proxy was even used! Here are the steps.
- Go to the website here and download the latest version of UltraSurf.
- Extract the file if necessary and copy it to your USB.
- Put the USB into the computer and run the .exe UltraSurf File.
Note that it's not a program, it's just an application, so no install necessary! It'll load up Internet Explorer and you can instantly browse filter free!
If you have any trouble with it just leave a comment and I'll do my best to help! =)
Just thought I'd share this solution, as it is a common issue that really bugs me.
.. And now for a lolcat. Soon I will start making my own lolcats, as I have four cats that love to pose, but until then..
Au revoir,
John.
