Proxy internet websites

[ben_ben]

My school blocks most websites in the world and much of the proxies to by-pass them does anyone know how to by-pass the blocker thing or proxies or something!!

You can download Firefox and manually change the proxy settings.

how do you change the settings?

 

[Snake-Eyes]

FF2.0 - Tools > Options > Advanced tab > Network tab > Click "Settings" under Connection. * Check the radio button that says Manual Proxy Configuration. Type in an IP, like 148.233.159.24 and port 3128 (i use that proxy, works fine. Some areas though it won't let you in. Gmail is the only thing i've found, though, that it blocks consistently.)

FF<2.0 - Tools > Options > "Settings" under Connection on main. Follow above directions from the star.

IMO - if it's a site on which you will be doing school-related things, I recommend asking a teacher if you may be granted access to it.
If it's a totally non-school-related site, I recommend waiting until you get home to access it.

tools>internet options>connections>lan settings>uncheck the proxy server box

And... you're unblocked! Hope that helps!

my school has all internet access blocked unless you go through their proxy, so this doesnt work everywhere.

A lot of schools (mine included) do not allow internet options to be opened. Firefox works, though. I wouldn't doubt Opera can do this also, but i do not use Opera enough to know.
