Step 4Proxy Applications
Ahh, my favorite part. This is where it gets easy to reliably slip past your school's blocks. The number one program for doing this is definitely Ultrasurf. You can download it free at www.ultrareach.com/download_en.htm
Now it's time to configure Opera. launch Opera, if you haven't already. Go to Tools, Preferences, Advanced, Network, and click on Proxy Servers. In the new window, check the first six boxes, and in the first column of text boxes type 127.0.0.1 and in the boxes labeled "port" type 9666. now, hit OK, and enjoy browsing freely.
There are several other proxy apps which also work, although through a different port. i'll list some here:
1. TOR the Onion Router
2. HTTP-Tunnel
3. Hopster
The setup for these is similar to Ultrasurf. if you have any problems, email me at TNT.M4v3r1cK@gmail.com and i'll be glad to help you.
Some people may prefer to use TOR. here are the setup instructions for it:
First, get a copy of Vidalia Bundle, and put it in your network folder. then, launch Vidalia. It will give you an error message(probably), so click Settings in the error box, and change the path for the TOR executable to point to the TOR application in your folder. Re-launch Vidalia, wait for it to successfully connect, then go back to Vidalia Bundle and launch Privoxy, and minimize it. Now, go to your web browser, and change the settings to point to Port 8118. That's it, you're done.
Note to people who go to my school:
the administration has blocked the programs themselves with the anti-virus software. I know how to get around this, but I am not going to post it here because i have reason to believe that the Administration at my school read this Instructable to find them. If you know who I am, come talk to me, if you're not so sure, but the programs seem to just not work, shoot me an email at TNT.M4v3r1cK@gmail.com and i'll try to help you any way i can.
