Another thing that i do sometimes is download TOR Browser on to a flashdrive and plug it right in. I've been using it for around two years and it hasn't been blocked once.

MrCantThinkOfAName says: Apr 9, 2011. 3:21 PM

Oh, and make sure you have Firefox on that computer.

A proper Internet filter is router based, not host based and uses a whitelist, not a blacklist.

This type of filter cares not whether you're using https or trying to use a tunnel.

1) What's a "done", and why is it mine? Sorry. I can't help myself sometimes.

2) This will work for filters that work on site names, but I don't think it will work on content filters. I have a Dan's Guardian server setup at home, and it blocks on things like word count. Since this method returns the same website that would be blocked by word count, one would assume (never assume, you make and "ass" out of "u" and "me") that it would still block the website based on the same word count.

3) Numbered lists should always be at least three items long.

Content filtering shouldn't be able to filter content if you use a secure (HTTPS) connection (if that's allowed).

mrmath says: Oct 24, 2010. 8:01 AM

I just tried this with my filter at home. It wouldn't allow me to visit freeproxy.net. Said that it was filtered based on a exceeding weighted word limit for proxy.

Ian01 says: Oct 24, 2010. 2:50 PM

What's this word limit? Are you not allowed to go to pages with a certain number of words on them? That sounds like a very strange way to filter the web. And since the filter can still work on a secure connection, it must be on your computer, right? I'd thought it was somewhere else on the network (like the router).

mrmath says: Oct 24, 2010. 5:05 PM

I don't think it can work over secured connection, but I haven't tested it. It's on a Ubuntu 10.10 server I have running in my house. I set the kids computer to use it as a proxy and lock down the settings. It does a bunch of different filtering, including black listing domains, websites, and ip addresses, as well as weighted words.

I do it more to protect them from unexpected stuff popping up than to stop them from going anywhere. There are one or two sites I've blocked to stop them, but they don't have any interest in it. If something gets blocked, and they want to see it, they send me an email, and I will usually make it so they can get to it right away.

mrmath says: Oct 24, 2010. 7:58 AM

I do believe you are correct!

mrmath says: Oct 22, 2010. 4:24 AM

DANG! It took out my tags. I put "Start pet peeve" and "End pet peeve" tagas around the question in the first point. It took them out. Now it's not funny!
