Tutorials: Get around college/school filters

This article gives you tips on getting around college’s internet censors or firewalls. If you are caught doing this by someone who works at your school (or a tattle-tale) then you will get in BIG-trouble, possibly even expelled. What ever you do with this information is entirely your fault; I am not to be held responsible. (SVCEians neednt worry, I have been doing this for sometime and haven't been caught even once)

And don’t do this when you have an individual login name or username, it will still point to you!

1) To begin with we’ll start with basic IP address stuff. Now, some administrators will have disabled this, but it may work, and is a quick easy way to start. First, open the command prompt, type in “ping website” without the quotes and put the domain name where website is. This will give you an IP address, go and enter that into the address bar, this should bring you to the site.

OR….if your college has disabled the command prompt then go to http://www.dnsstuff.com/
Look at the far right column and find the one that says ping and type in the address of the site, when the next page opens the hostname will be there and next to it in brackets will be the IP address for that site

2) Next, you can go through a proxy or translation site. Lots of sites have proxies (Google it for more proxies.) Also if you go to most translation sites (Google has a great one) then you can use that. If your site is in English, then tell it to translate the site from any language to English! That will open it up and say that it translated it and mess with the url, that will get you pass the blockers.

3) And last there are the circumventors, personally I have never used them (never needed them) but I thought they should be at least mentioned. These little programs also work in getting past those pesky blockers. Since I am afraid that I would give you wrong information on the subject of circumventors I will hand that off to someone else. Go to these sites for help and descriptions on these:
