How to get pass BESS (blocking wesites)

This instructable will alow you to get past BESS the annoying little dog that locks you from websites most of the time you need for school but sometimes to check your myspace or facebook....... (that was a long run-on)...... As i was saying heres how.......

Step 1: Codeen

Codeen is a really great site made by princeton (let them explain)

CoDeeN is an academic testbed Content Distribution Network (CDN) built on top of PlanetLab by the Network Systems Group at Princeton University. This testbed CDN consists of a network of high-performance proxy servers. Currently, proxy servers have been deployed on many PlanetLab nodes. These proxy servers behave both as request redirectors and server surrogates. They cooperate with each other and collectively provide a fast and robust web content delivery service to CoDeeN users.

What you need to do is
1. Go to any major search engine i.e. google, yahoo, msn and type in codeen.
a. i used google
2. the first one is usually your choice. click it.

[Tigarzzz]

TO ALL THOSE OUT THERE IF THIS METHOD DOESNT WORK GO TO A HOME COMPUTER OR A LIBRARY AND DOWNLOAD A PROGRAM CALLED ULTRA SURF... AS I SAID BEFORE ITS A SERVER RAN THROUGH CHINA AND IT WILL ALLOW UNLIMITED INTERNET ACCESS.... GO TO THIS LINK

http://www.ultrareach.com/

AND DOWNLOAD THAT TO A FLASH DRIVE AND RUN IT BEFORE YOU CLICK THE INTERNET... THERE YA GO PPL LOL

[jessica bray]

thankz 4 telling us

If you have access to regedit*, you should be able to disable/enable (among other things) BESS on a machine by machine basis. I would suggest using this only after the method in this instructable has been exhausted. Since I haven't been in high school since 2003, I don't remember what keys to edit, but the Windows registry is surprisingly intuitive, so it shouldn't be difficult to figure out.

• Click "start", click "run" and type regedit and press "enter"

P.S. If your network uses Novel NetWare, there are other things you should look for in the registry. Things to increase your fun.

I know it's a few years too late.. but BESS doesn't run on the local machine.. there's nothing to disable in the registry. This particular filter runs at the campus/building firewall and gets everything coming in before it even hits the machine.

Great instructable, good information you explain everything in detail and it probably helps many people but I personally believe there must be easier ways (does BESS block proxies like phproxy? just put one on your home computer in an AMP and go to your computer from school (trough your browser) and work from there

[Nemraiku]

There is a much easier method to this, lol

[bowwowwgurl]

i got lost here fix that pleaz

[castromyluv92]

yea i got up to the last step where im on the home page and it says im on. but when i click home it just says to try again. and it never letts be get on. just "try again" help please

[Tigarzzz]

i found out this really cool program from china that gets pass any i mean ANY weblock cause it is running directly from china but... i lost it i made a mistake and delleted the file one of you guys told me about it on this page called u.exe and there was another one but i forgot the name if tyhat person could tell me again where i and all these people can download it from that will be nice.

[toxic_117]

the whole codeen thing is blocked at my school so there chance thats going to work.

[benjgvps]

If I can't use ping I will use my logmein account to browse the internet from my computer at home remotely from the school computer. I could also start a virus scan and it will be done when I get home. The only problem I have is that our internet is crappy and some times its slow or low quality.

[benjgvps]

i have a very good way to past bess. go to start, then click run, then type cmd. type ping then the website you want for example "ping www.myspace.com" without the quotes. then it will say pinging and then a number, type the number with all the periods and the page will load up. though on sites like youtube the content refuses to load. i can't belive a 13 year old got past bess with 30 minutes in the computer lab.

[Shynobi]

hey i tried this and yes it works on my personal computer but will it work on a skool comp with all those blockers on it

[Tigarzzz]

first im not 13 im 17 second all this would be easier if u had a flash drive and u had firefox on it then all u would have to do is type in the ip adrees and be on and ill try the ping thing to see if it works

[Tigarzzz]

This is my first instructable if you see anything wrong or need any explanations please tell me. Hope ya like it.

[locofocos]

Yeah, this is pretty nice. I kinda knew about proxies and had messed around with FoxyProxy firefox extension, but messed it up somehow and couldn't set it back to not use any proxies, so I couldn't get connected anywhere. I had to reinstall firefox :( . I never knew firefox had built-in support for proxy servers.

[Tigarzzz]

really its called foxy proxy right where can u downloads it i want to check it out.

[locofocos]

At https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464 , but you need firefox to use it.

[ich bin ein pyro]

first problem when i click on setting it makes system preferences pop up and those are blocked oh well maybe cause im on a mac but i have an easier solution go to peacefire.org and install a circumventor on a computer thats not blocked and then itll give you a website that is private unless you tell someone your very own circumventor pyro-

[hivoltage]

thats what i did to get around the filter at my school.... they block the stupidest crap. instructables.com is blocked for being "terrorist/militant"

[Tigarzzz]

lol

[ich bin ein pyro]

well for my count it would be blocked for.. criminal skills fourums bulletin boards and now anamanizers along with everything you could think of

[Tigarzzz]

ya ya i already know about peacfire. the thing is that they are really really slow so this way is better... and i dont deal to much with a mac so i wouln't know how to help you there.

[ich bin ein pyro]

hixi.info

thats what we use now

[bustermaxxx]

I have a problem codeen said my ip address is not recognize so im not allowed to use http and that includes mail.yahoo.com :(

[Tigarzzz]

ya sometimes that happens to me too. U have to keep searching for a proxy that dosent do that unforunatley.

[srobot]

Some web blockers at schools, and librarys block any, and all, use of "non-good" (aka how to make a bomb, on Instructables) websites, right from the roots of the computer. Check out "Net Nanny", ehhh I HATE the name!!!

[smileyacid]

YE,H Net nannys a terrible name i agree but not on the first part firefox portable or other good portable web browser apps arnet affected by net nanny so how can you secure against portable web apps ? please can you or anyone help ?

[Tigarzzz]

uhhh net nanny.... wha is that sorry never heard of it. but a proxy completley hides ur normal ip adresses identity.

[firemanfu]

I can get instructables at my school

[rabid possum]

my Internet options were disabled by the administrator what do I do??????????????

[Tigarzzz]

USE FIre FoX if u cant put it on a computer put it on a flash drive.

[texansfan01]

i use a school computer, so i cant get on the internet options, now What?

[Tigarzzz]

use mozzila fireox. If u have a flash drive download i to ur flash drive then u can run it on any computer

[aiden120000]

not all schools use firefox

[ratt2581]

You can do the same thing in IE (or any browser). ie: tools>Internet Options>Lan Settings opera: tools>preference>advanced>network
