Recently the IT dept has blocked a number of sites from our computers. It won't be long till my dept head will get our access back, but in the mean time how can I get to my favourite sites?

I have heard of a website you go to which will then allow you to go to anysite you want. I think it works by changing the address, so www.sau.com would become www.othersite.com/www.sau.com or somwthing like that.. but i can't find anything about such a site.

I can't install anything on the pc either.

Is there a fairly easy way to achieve this?

I don't really care if they can track it or not.

Thanks in advance...

I believe you are referring to a web proxy. You go to the proxy site then type the url of the site you want to go & it will attempt to load the url through a bunch of proxy severs. The ip of the proxy sites shows up instead of the real sites ip.

However most of these free proxy sites have all being black listed by the major filtering softwares so its not all that effective. I.E. these sites won't load on the computers @ uni, it will show up as being blocked as "illegal" stuff.

Heres a site with some free web proxy severs you can try your luck on Link

Yeah i hear using 7 proxies can work wonders...

umm try googling TOR nodes (can't remember the technical explanation, but i'm pretty sure the sickos on /b/ were using them for JB content etc, think it works on a similar system to a proxy)

at high school, we were able to get into sites thru google cache, or when all else failed, just looked up russian porn or whatever (filter can't read cyrillic lol)

ssh tunnel through to proxy server at your home, basically tunnel through home connection using ssh or a vpn server.

good until they block your home IP :)

also if you can, RDP into your home computer and surf from there...sometimes the IT dept's forget to block that.

new proxies are popping up all the time so its hard to block them all. Something to consider is how much crap you'll be in if your work monitors web traffic and the IT department sees you hitting up proxies trying to get around the measures they've been told to put in place.

ones that most it firewalls etc wont capture

email to web gateways

tinyurl obstruction

running a httpd on your home pc and make it script up your favourite sites

get someone (or your home linux box) to run http proxy on TCP 53, some firewalls (and admins) allow 53 TCP out to any host as they believe its required for DNS operation (its not, only xfers)

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
