Schools can be really annoying. Specifically, they have a tendency to use programs such as St. Bernard or Barracuda to limit the freedom you can experience on the crowning communications achievement of the human race, aka the internet. That's what i intend to help you with. Over the next few pages, i will explain in detail many different methods which can be used to bypass and circumvent these programs. Enjoy!

The first step to internet freedom and privacy is a good web browser. This does not mean Internet Explorer, Microsoft's snitching piece of software that will tell your school administrators everything you do online. Nobody under 40 should voluntarily use it. Many people prefer Firefox, and i agree that it can be very useful. However, it can be slow and cumbersome, and is not always easy to configure. I always have preferred Opera. You can download it free at http://www.opera.com/download/ and it installs easily. It has a useful "Speed Dial" feature that allows you to effectively have 9 home pages. All of the step-by-steps in this instructable will be for opera, although it shouldn't be difficult for most people to figure out how to translate it to Firefox. Also, Google Chrome is now out, although it is very difficult to configure proxy applications in it. What I personally do is use Chrome for my legit browsing, and switch to Opera when i need to someplace that is blocked.
Just as a heads-up, Opera normally requires an administrator account to install, which yo probably do not have, if you are at school reading this. If you do, then your school is amazingly awesome, and leave me a comment, because i'd transfer in about 2 seconds. It is easy to get around this, however. The only reason that you normally need an administrator account is because Opera by default will try to install itself to the hard drive. You do not want this. Instead, when you are installing, chose the custom installation. It allows you to choose the installation path, and not install into the system. Change it to your desktop, or into your network folder, if you have one.

However you forgot to talk about web proxies .
PassURL.net is an anonymous web proxy that haven't been blocked by web filters since months. It can even bypass china firewall , so the chance that it won't work at your school or workplace is almost NULL.
Furthermore the site don't have any popup ads or ads on proxified page.Thus it ensures "clean browsing"
Check it out : www.passurl.net
firefox portable: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
here are proxy lists also

from what I understand firefox will find proxies automatically
Its a dummy email that I check occasionally.
thanks anyway
Urpal.net is a high privacy proxy site. It’s fast too! You can try it.
If you download Firefox Portable and put it on your flash drive along with ultrasurf, you could get the FoxyProxy addon, and then add a proxy with 127.0.0.1 as the host and 9666 as the port.
