Visiting Blocked Sites?

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)

try http://www.boomproxy.com I've used this before to get to SAU when it won't load behind some proxy servers at sites that I am at.

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)

      Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
