How to get around the security of most server side web blockers

This is my first instructable, so bear with me:
Ok i will tell you how to get around the web blockers I have seen used in schools. All you need is a flash drive and a few software downloads.

Preparation
First you need a flash drive, any size will do but the bigger it is the better. This way you can carry along with you more of your own personal files like pictures and other software. Minimally all you need is a 128 MB flash drive. These you can find at a nearby electronics store. The target nearby for me sells them for $12 USD.

next you need to get the software. I use a portable version of Firefox that was coded to be launched from a portable device. Weather or not Internet Explorer has been made into a portable version i am unsure of. here is the link
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
and the picture below shows what the site looks like, complete with a big red button saying download

Put this file anywhere, I recommend to your flash drive in case something goes wrong and you need to reload it.

After reviewing your instructable I will now have to go and speak with your English teacher, I taught you better than this :D . Use capitalization, proper grammar, sentence fluency, and organization. Good first instructable, but fix your small items.

I don't understand what to do with the Codeen Proxy List. I'll enter in an IP address from there into the proxy form for Firefox. Is the port # the port that appears next to the IP on the List, such as when it says, "blocking ports 3127, 3128"? Also, do firewalls matter?

on the Codeen Proxy List you have to check that it says good under the status column, he sorta mentioned this by saying that the "proxy server may just be down temporarily" and im unsure but in another instructable it said 3124? idk maybe it works or doesnt it was for regular firefox

Thanks for publishing. This tutorial looks good, but needs pictures to really shine on the site. What tends to happen is that Instructables without pictures get lost in the crowd and don't see many hits. I've unpublished your project for now but it would be great if you could add in some images and then resubmit your Instructable.
