How to bypass a school internet firewall

Step 2Proxy sites

Proxy sites
Proxy sites, such as www.opencity.us have their advantages and disadvantages. Their advantages are that they are just as fast to use as the normal internet, so your browsing is not slowed down, and new ones are frequently made. However, they can steal your passwords when you log on, are frequently blocked by the overzealous school admin, and most importantly, do not encrypt their connections. This means that the school admin can cut-and-paste the url into their browser to see where you were. Busted. These will do in a pinch, and are useful to use for downloading proxy applications, but are usually a waste of time.

One can be necessary, however, to get at the proxy applications, which are usually blocked. Unfortunately, the firewall is continuously checking for oline proxies, so whichever ones i list here will probably be blocked by the time that you read this. Fortunately, there is an answer. if you can get to http://unblockedbebo.org/ or any other proxy run by the same guy, you can sign up for a newsletter which will let you know whenever a new site is posted. This system has saved me numerous times.
