School blocks MySpace, Facebook, and Youtube

<p>How many people here go to a school where these types of sites are blocked?</p>

<p>I just found this site <a href="http://cl0ak.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://cl0ak.com&lt;/a> and thought I'd share with everyone</p>

<p>it unblocks all of these sites at my school, its awesome. i know that i've been looking for something like this for a long time, and im sure that other people have been as well.</p>

<p>They are called web proxies, scripted with PHP or CGI, and are blocked very quickly by schools so you constantly have to keep finding new ones.</p>

<p>What else is new? It seems like a new wave of common sites are blocked every few months. Recently, all of the Google services besides Google Search and Gmail were blocked, but I guess enough people complained since it was back to normal in less than a week. Some of the weirdest (as in non-inappropriate) things are blocked by websense.</p>

<p>Most of the proxy-bypassers won't work after enough people find out about them and start using them. I'll try this out tomorrow, but it'll definitely need to stay hush-hush.</p>

<p>They blocked everything except Google search here. But you can still go to different country Googles (co.uk for example) and image search will work.</p>

<p>just hack a teacher's account</p>

<p>the teacher can moinitor our computers now! The teachers can just look on their computers and see what everyone is doing. It's horrible mostly because my CS teacher actually follows the rule.</p>

<p>our school blocks EVERYTHING. it's ridiculous.</p>

<p>proxies work, but you have to spend 5-10 minutes searching for one that's not already blocked.</p>

<p>Swim they added that here too. I usually spend the period watching music videos, but now when we see her walking to the computer with the monitor program, everyone rushes to minimize their windows. She just clicks a button and everyone's Internet windows refresh with a big red x and ACCESS DENIED. Sucks majorly.</p>

<p>I don't know about really inappropriate sites, as I don't go on them, but my school's computers don't block MySpace, Facebook, email, anything like that. We're allowed to use the computers in the library and stuff whenever we have free periods, and some people use them for hw and some just play games online or whatever and no one cares...</p>

<p>In my online classes, the administration has said we can't go to any other site besides our website class page. I am getting to work changing THAT stupid rule. Heck, after I finished my online work on Friday, I started to work on my chemistry homework and I needed to look up a formula. My administrator came by and threatened to write me up for being on a "website other than your online class' website." Needless to say, as I person that is ALWAYS quiet and respectful to other students working on their online work and one who makes straight A's in all of my online courses, I am going to go straight to the assistant principal if she attempts to write me up. Let's just say if you are friends with the assistant principal and he has known you for 5+ years, you tend to get out-of-line administrators in check. ;-)</p>

<p>That was a little bit off-topic, but not too much. ;-)</p>

<p>haha i can definitely relate..</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>Are you having those sorts of problems as well with your online classes administrator? I just don't see why I even need to have a period for online classes. They should just let me do them at home and move on. Ridiculous.</p>

<p>I for one LIKE having a period for my online class. :D Means I don't have the classwork for it for homework. Anyway, I have a period full of kids who are theoretically self-teaching themselves something for it, so we all spend the time doing things like playing Tetris. My school blocks Facebook and MySpace, but pretty much nothing else.</p>

<p>You are lucky. Practically everything is blocked at my school. Even sites such as the Washingpost and whatnot. I call Government Conspiracy to restrict freedom of speech and free thought. ;-) Just kidding. (Or am I?)</p>

<p><a href="http://www.geekiwiki.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.geekiwiki.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>our school to get around anything goes to <a href="http://www.peacefire.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.peacefire.com&lt;/a> or <a href="http://www.StupidCensorship.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.StupidCensorship.com&lt;/a> and it gets it for you</p>

<p>It pays for being part of IT for your school ;)</p>

<p>I have the administrator password and access to everything!</p>

<p>I discovered at school this afternoon that CC isn't blocked--but for unknown reasons, this particular thread is. XD Probably the very mention of Facebook in.</p>

<p>^^^
Your school probably has a filtering program that looks for specific words such as "webproxy" "facebook" and "youtube"</p>

<p>If the software finds that a specific page has too many occurences of those words, it would block that specific site.</p>

<p>I had little faith in any of these sites getting past the school's filter...I was right:</p>

<p>ACCESS DENIED!</p>

<p>Internet access to the requested website has been denied based on your user profile and Broward School's Internet Usage Policy.</p>
