How to Bypass School Internet Filters Using Command Prompt (No Proxies)

Step 4 Final Step

Alright, now this is the core of what you need to do.

In the Command Prompt (The Black Box) type: PING http://www.(insertwebsitehere).com

Now a jumble of text should gradually appear. For the purposes of this tutorial, we're looking for the IP of the website, or something that looks like this: 63.251.179.13 (www.myspace.com)

After finding the IP, type the numbers in the address bar of your preferred internet browser. This is a fairly basic trick to get passed most weaker internet filters. Odds are if you work for the CIA, this won't get you passed the filters (don't you have terrorists to find anyway?) but if you're at a library or on campus, nine times out of ten this will do the trick. 

Happy surfing!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in highschool and the internet block is very strict. it wont even let us go on google translate! Seriously people! I need to do an assignment where i have to translate a recipe into italian, using an italian dictionary. we can also get help from google translate. i cant find a few words in the dictionary, so i really need to look yhem up on google translate, but it wont let me in! I tried typing cmd in Run, but it wouldnt let me. so i wrote command.com and made it into a .bat file and i typed in www.myspace.com and the ip came up, but when i typed the ip address into IE, it said it was blocked by the queensland government!

Reread the instructable, should be more clear now.

[draconis537]

I just tried this and it didn't work. I tried using this adress
Ping http://www.instructables.com (enter)
and all that came up was: Ping request could not find host (see above). Please check the name and try again. WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!?????!!!!!!!

[bandoflyrics]

Don't put in the http:// , only www.instructables.com and it should come up

[draconis537]

thank you so much, that worked.

[nmeth]

hey what do you mean by typing the numbers in the bracket on the last step?

[BonoGlasses]

It means to type the IP Address of the site, reread the Instructable, should be more clear now.

[buddha_123]

Does anyone know what it means by type the numbers inbetween the brackets?
ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BonoGlasses]

You're supposed to type the IP Address of the website as designated by the Command Prompt. Read through the instructable again, it should be more clear now.

[chelsie234]

the command prompt was blocked by my administrator): what do it do?

[fsstickman]

well what you do is go into notepad. Type "command.com" without quotation marks. Save as All files type and name it cmd.bat or a.bat or whatever. It just needs to end in .bat Save wherever. now double click on it. It should open cmd

[bandoflyrics]

Its not working when I open the .bat file on my computer
Anything you know that can help?

[fsstickman]

Well tell me what happens. Does the .bat file have like gears on it?
Information would help

[921929]

to be honest, i didn't think this would work. but it works really well! all i had to do at school was open custom cmd, and i could get on facebook, youtube, and even proxies! i will definetely use this in the future.

 OK I understand what you are saying but in my school the technician is really sly and I cant even use command prompts i already tried them I was going to make my account an admin and kick all the other accounts : ).
but it must have already bean tried and now he's blocked the c prompt and I cant even run basic software have you got any advice btw if I find a way how to get past it i will be sure to post it.

[hemanth678]

Don’t fret, we can just make a new command prompt. Open up notepad and type in this:

@echo off
command
@echo on

Save it as a .bat file, then open it, and you should have a functioning command prompt.

 I have to go and try this trick, but if you make a Persistent Linux USB, you can bypass any software they use. I'm pretty sure you can then use the command line in Linux to do this. Personally I just download games on my drive and bring it to school. I used Linux live creator 2.5 and a 4GB drive. If the computers are old and don't let you boot to USB, burn a disk (or floppy) with plop boot manager and boot to it. It will then  let you boot to your Linux drive and use this trick or anything else you want. Hope this helps.

ok i dont no if this will work 4 u but it use 2 work 4 me (it's blocked now) ok click start double click programs click back space about 3-4 times or till it comes up with c drive go to windows sys32 command cmd may6 b blocked then u can ping the website make yourself admin or whatever u want unless its blocked.

[me7399]

Ok, I tried doing all of this, and I'm actually trying to bypass my home filter, but there are TWO filters. one apparently blocks me via proxies, and the other, the backup, does so also, AND blocks this method to. I acquired the OpenDNS ip (the backup filter) on the command prompt, and thought it was the ip to Youtube......wtf do i do now?

[Blackiey]

www.youtube-nocookie.com

[me7399]

even that is blocked at my home.

WTF DO I DO??

thanks though for the tip.

[moonman239]

Google Translate also gives you access to websites - schools can't block that without blocking innocent users from using it.

[strange72191]

My school blocks innocent users.

[syuk306]

i have follow all instrc,.,but that thing says "cannot find request" i dont know how to do with it??

[fistman69]

hey i followed these instruction but my proxy just says that it is block wih catagory/ies none what can you do about that?

[sanwardeen]

hai in my company i can't able to access orkut,youtube,facebook.all the sites are blocked with administrator.could u please help me how to reterive admin password

[agentstaple]

 OK I think I have figured it out what you have to do is buy a gun take it to school and hold your school tech hostage until he promises to unblock the complete network im sure this way you are probably going to get a result if.

btw I was joking if you hold the school tech hostage you will get arrested i know I dont need to tell you this but there are some people out there stupid enough to listen to me lol  :~0

Just a hint if your school has blocked command prompt like mine, use notepad, type in the prompt there, and save as a file that ends in .bat run that and there you go. Or, if you can't open notepad, go onto any webpage, right click in a blank space and click "view source". Notepad will appear with a load of HTML script in - delete all that and save it as "notepad.txt" in your folder (my documents or wotever)- now you have notepad, and can do what I said at the beginning of this comment!

[knex_mepalm]

 My school is a tech school. They blocked right click and command prompt. What now? Proxy and snipurl.com dont work...hELP!

[davidprosser]

 Your pretty much only chance now is to remote desktop. Leave your computer on at home, and use either LogMeIn, TeamViewer or GoToMyPC (Possibly WinVNC) to remote to your computer at home. This is what I do.

[knex_mepalm]

Doesn't work...The only thing I can do now, is to wait 2 eyars for my free asus laptop from the government and to hack/jailbreak it cause my school is a tech school and they have good programming skillz. We even have our own intranet check it out... Its password protected...damn i wanted to show you.

[RedFlash]

doesn't work at mine even the command.com trick

[chrisarm37]

'\\jbhs1.jbhs.busd.local\home\students\09carmstrong' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator. thats what happened when i tried the notepad access.... i saves as .bat Press any key to continue . . .

[RedFlash]

same here

[Kellskii]

i dont really understand what im supposed to do with the note pad document when im at a blcoked page? help?

[mdog]

just go to run, type cmd and then type tracert www.insertwebsitename.com then press enter. its easier.=)

[Nameless37]

i paste your script right into run and it came up with all active ips to this website at the moment i typed it

[davidprosser]

In an ideal world on a home PC that would work, but the problem is that on many school/college computer systems the "run" feature has been removed from the start menu. My idea is a simple workaround for the problem, but I understand where you're coming from.
