you wouldnt happen to know any other sites like this as my school block aka iprism blocks this oneThe Austin said:
If your school is anything like MY school, they only block the web address, and not even https.change the url to https, which works for a few sites, but you can ping websites in command prompt to get their IP adress. you save a notepad document a certain way with the right words (I forget what they are) as a .bat I think, then open it, and it runs in command prompt and shows you the IP address. Copy and paste the IP into your address bar. This works for some sites.
However, neither of these work, for example, on Youtube.com. The HTTPs method takes you to google.com, as does the IP.
You could also just figure out a teacher or admin password and type it in when you need to get on a sight. Or figure out how to make your own school account an administrator, like we did.
EDIT: We don't have iboss, we're working with barracuda.

Depends. If it was like my old tech teacher, who was a Mac lover, but lulzaly didn't know about the Time Machine function in Lepord, and lost half of her grade data for like 99% of her classes, then yea you'd probably have to worry about her watching. Supposively, there isn't any "monitoring" software for Windows like there was for the Mac side, but meh. Ksoanyway:Demented Teddy said:

Hmm. Well, the iBoss is hardware based from what I know, so can't be fooled that easily with a program. There's one place you could try:
http://proxy.org/
Probably would be better to make a list like at home and then try it at like the library or some place where you can access a computer without to much interupption. Most of the time, like stated, they block http, not https, so you'd wanna try those. Won't have flash or anything, but if it's just for Wikipedia, it'll all be good.
happened to me at my school, but in the worst way possible. All the Library computers had a generic blocker installed, straight from the Catholic School board, and blocked anything related to games, violence and sex/nudity. Also, all videos. Period. And as an a result of to much time on their hands, the librarian s decided to go through and pick out which sites students frequent and block them all. Including the educational ones, if they weren't glaringly obvious. We had to start a petition to let Wiki be used again.
Ot; All I know is that if you want to get around the system, use a proxy server, which you can google.....unless they blocked that too.
Or, sometimes it was a simple matter of adding http:// in front of the address. How I got facebook working.

reading that me 2, damn my tiredness but anyways i just ment like the blocker at my school blockes and i wasnt sure if the different blocking programs mattered when it came to the sitesThe Austin said:
Yeah, schools can get a bit zealous about that. I mean in an elementary school, and even jr. high, it could make sense (and I understand blocking porn and such in all levels of school). But in high school and from then on, it's just stupid. It often conflicts with schoolwork, and really, it is our responsibility at that point to take our education into our own hands. If we get an F on something 'cause we were on Facebook when we should have been paying attention or working on a project, it's our own fault.
I've encountered one that won't let you use the word "Model" if your looking up cars(I.e Ford MODEL T) because it's classified as "fashion", and if you're looking up medival medicine, you're fucked there too becuase it classifies "Humors" as blocked. Seriously, who blocks humor? The crossbreed of Skeletor and Jack Thompson?
Well, my school has "Bluecoat" and that site works for it, so I think it should work with yours.Proctorninja said:
this has been happing in my entire school district for at least 10 years now, but for me i just use firefox and go to settings and put no proxy that works at my school don't konw about you though.
Friends of mine at school used something they called a "HTTP Tunneler", unfortunatly I've got no idea what that is. All I know is that it let them get through the school's own proxy server (they TRIED to make us pay them before they gave us the server information. They didn't seem to realise that all both of the kids who bought it at full price could SEE the info and sold it to the other kids for 10p if they didn't just give it away) and through the website blocker to an extent that they could play MMORPGs through it, albiet very slowly.
