Get on myspace at school

So you want to bypass your school's internet filter, eh? Well look no further, I'm here to show you how. This Instructable outlines several methods that can get you past your school's filter and onto MySpace.

*NOTE* I am in no way responsible for any trouble you may get in from using this Instructable.

Step 1: Use a Proxy

One way to access MySpace at your school is to use something called a proxy server. There are several proxies available on the web today. Just type www.myspace.com into the search bar of the sites to access that MySpacey goodness.

Proxy.org - This site uses a database of over 7,493 working proxy servers to help you access blocked sites.

Certain Proxy - This site was ranked one of the best proxies available today.

Zopopo - This site claims to be the best proxy on the net. It performs quite well.

My school has blocked everything I can't get on anything. Please give me some websites I can access myspace or facebook at school.

[7031]

My school doesn't allow me to do that, though I can just bring Firefox on a memory stick, and boom, unblocked :P.

[phillis88]

how do you do this?
is the schools internet connection still used? or do you need a router or something?

[nikolai123]

the schools block translation tool so its ALMOST impossible... unless you have TOR onion router and mozzilla firefox on USB. ( www.torproject.org ). you have to download it at home though or a place w/ no restrictions.

[blackchaos]

how would you disconnet the connection of the two

[Nyce1]

yo this is so awesome and wonderful at the same time who eva thought of this is a freakin genius!!!

[LuminousObject]

This might seem like a stupid question, but can anyone tell me how to find my home computers email address? Great instructable, by the way.

[LuminousObject]

Whoops, sorry. I meant IP address. I'm a little tired right now.

note; ipconfig /all

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

why not use vvd1.net

[megacheater1]

just one thing, do not search google at school with the search terms "bypass proxy" or similar, its pretty stupid since with most schools they can just look through history >.> people get busted at my school all the time

[megacheater1]

yep, from what i understand it just redirects

[7031]

I have yet to see an internet filter system that does not block these. Even if it doesn't block .tk, your school's server can still see that you are going on MySpace.com or whatever, it just appears different to the end user.

[nolte919]

So if I access my bank through a proxy is the connection still secure?

[i make shooting things]

nope

[supermorph]

you could use logmein, it only requires a client on the home pc, and obviously to be online when u connect, no fancy things to remember, (ip's etc) just login and connect. done.

[saeroswind]

Hmm, very interesting, but have you ever had your teachers go through the server and add the ban 'reason', Anonymizer?... yea, that pretty much happened for every one of those I tried, and the thing is, is... my teachers have anticipated the remote control desktop, and don't allow that program to be used, I was just saying this to inform you, that there is a program, called Ultra Surfer, and it's a proxy program, very easy to use, it lets you bypass ANYTHING... and I mean anything there is to pass.

And as for not having teachers know your history, as in where you've been, I'de suggest installing Google Chrome, and opening an "Incognito Window" It lets you surf the net, without even thinking about jotting down your internet history ^_. Hope this helps.

Lol. another thing is. not just teenagers go onto this site, as soon as a teacher would spot this, they will immediately check their firewall settings.

... ok... INSTRUCTABLE CREATING TIME XP

Now the question is why you'd want to get on Myspace at all? :) Good info though for getting past internet filters!

[Ananand]

Cool, I have to try this! 4.5 stars

[lordofthedonuts]

Personally I'm using TOR for these kinds of things, it's overkill but it works, I got a portable version of FF3 on my USB drive with the addon's installed on it.

[peonatre]

after you type in http instead type https the (s) means secure most web sites will pass.

[mcguyverzboss]

Proxies servers are nice and all but they really are poor with processing video and some java scripts. A much easier way of getting around school filters is to use a laptop or any computer with the JAP anonymity and privacy program. You can download this program from this site
http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/download_en.html
This program works best with firefox but can be set up to work with most popular browsers. It is somewhat cool learning how it all works. I suggest reading the "how it works" section on the home page.

[angelofdeth68]

great job, there is a lot of good info here 5*

[killersquirel11]

Another way to get to some websites is to add an s after the http
(http://www.instructables.com --> https://www.instructables.com)
Note that this will only work if the website has a secure server

[ShadowJesus]

Hey kid, this doesnt help if your school filters things like really long urls, or the word "proxy" so hah. also, translator pages.

[zeke34]

We dont have filters but the teacher will occasionally check our computers from his. I got caught listening to music while typing a paper. My friend laughed at me and I told him "Shut up, you're lucky he didn't catch you looking up hello.jpg" XD

My school has this nasty little tool called synchroneyes. It shows the librarian exactly what you are looking at, and she can take over your computer at any time and log you off. It also logs which websites you go to, so just in case she misses you once, she can look back into your past. Not to mention they have blocked all proxies, etc. etc. to get past the chinese-esque school death wall of internet blockage. But then again, I have no need, instructables isn't blocked at school. That's all I need.

[Labot2001]

Our school has keyloggers :D I can't go on ibles without having to change my password once I get home :D

[super moderator]

we have something like that called AB Tutor control

[stephenniall]

Lol we have that At my high school But i found a unlocked pc and nearly got suspended for Copying a shortcut to my drive so i could stop them from watching me GOd its like Big bro lol

[super moderator]

NO!! it's worse. They control school today then the entire internet tomorrow!!!

[stephenniall]

Lol thats Damn true i even cant get notepad with cmd ONE TIP when starting the machines hold down F8 and press safe mode with CMD then hack and get the network opened Its alot simperler

[Gunslinger95]

easy. make a personal command prompt on notepad and kill the program with taskkill. you wanna look up the actual name with tasklist, then use taskkill on it to shut it off. for the 'going back into your past', cant you just delete your browsing history?

[LuminousObject]

There's a problem with that. Some schools, mine included, have taken notepad off of your applications. And even if you have gotten notepad on your computer, you still can't get the command prompt to work, therefore, you cannot execute batch files.

[TheGasMaskGuy]

Where do you go to school at? Compton?

[Some.Monkey]

Yeah, my school has the same type of thing. They don't ever catch anyone though. I think there is a lack of caring there.

[Doctor What]

BTW, nice job.

[mynameisjonas]

very nice! I also love how on the other two tabs you have instructables.

[goodgnus]

You also need to make sure you have NAT turned on and set up port forwarding for Remote Desktop or VNC.
