Easily Bypass Internet Filter at Work Or School

<h1>Easily Bypass Internet Filter at Work Or School</h1>Author: <a title="John Lee" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/john-lee/11567.htm">John Lee</a> If some websites get blocked in your company or school, how to access those websites at work or school? Today more and more employers and schools are becoming aware of the amount of time their employees or students are spending using the Internet for personal reasons. The network administrator uses a firewall or proxy server to restrict access to websites or other Internet protocols. Since all your Internet communication passes through your network's firewall, it's not strange that some websites (like myspace or game sites) get censored in your company or school. 
 
There are three easy ways to get around the Internet filter: 
 
1. The easiest way is to use a web based proxy. A web-based proxy is powered by server-side software such as PHProxy, CGIProxy, Poxy or custom proxy scripts. A web based proxy has a web interface very similar to the google search box. Just enter the website address you want to visit in that box and click "submit" button, everything is done! You can find hundreds working web-based proxies at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aplusproxy.com/webproxy.php.">http://www.aplusproxy.com/webproxy.php.</a> 
 
2. Set a proxy in your Internet browser to browse blocked websites. This is not as simple as the first method, but it can be even more effective. 
Pre-Step 1.) Go to the public proxy list at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aplusproxy.com/proxylist/index.php.">http://www.aplusproxy.com/proxylist/index.php.</a> 
Pre-Step 2.) Copy a few proxy addresses (Example - IP:Port) to the notepad. Some proxies may be dead so you need more than one proxy for test. 
Then, if you're using Internet Explorer: 
Step 1.) Open your Internet Explorer. 
Step 2.) On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings. 
Step 3.) Under Proxy server, click to select the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box. 
Step 4.) In the Address box, type the IP address of the proxy server. 
Step 5.) In the Port box, type the port number of that proxy (such as 80 or 8080). 
Step 6.) You can click to select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box (optional) 
Step 7.) Click OK to close the dialog boxes. 
Step 8.) Your IE should now be configured to browse the net through a proxy server.

3. Download free proxy software. Some proxy software (like Freenet, JAP, and Tor) can automatic search the proxies from the Internet and configure the browser setting for you.

1. yours sincererly (21:14, 24.07.2008)

What can you do when the web sight adresses you gave in bypassing internet filtering are filtered as well??????????

2. obey (19:06, 28.01.2009)

thank you

3. lukas shearer (18:38, 16.12.2008)

you can bypass proxy s as long as your serch words are spelt incorrectly , like spell bypass lake by pass and the word proxy as p r o x y

4. Selena Funk (18:11, 21.04.2008)

I am a student at Roane County Highschool in Spencer, West Virginia. I found this article and the provided site completely unhelpful.

5. hassan (17:50, 26.05.2008)

I don't know what to say because the http://www.aplusproxy.com/torpark.php is also filtered in iran . any other suggestions ?

6. D (15:53, 23.12.2008)

Okay.. so if you have an internet filter.. and you're trying to get to a proxy, so that you can unblock some sites...how do you get the proxy if the website that the proxy on is blocked?

7. Jonathon At CCSH (15:31, 01.04.2009)

The Internet Options are locked on our school computers.

8. Substitute Teacher (15:29, 16.09.2008)

ya, this is useless. Unless you bring your own computer and use a secured wireless network at school or work, there is no way to bypass the school's internet security without having access to a normal network first.

I do believe it would work if the bypass sites hadn't been blocked though.

9. Alan Brady (15:28, 17.12.2008)

hey the website u r using is blocked by school filtering! the website is no good!... and if u cant get the list of proxies the trick doesnt work!

10. jamie (15:22, 01.06.2009)

if u r having trouble under standing this article ..then an easier way then that is when u are trying to get onto a website that is blocked then u just have to simply go to the http;//www........ and put an s after the http;// ...it will look like this . https:/
thanks
