Total Posts: 714 | Hey for the past ever students that have gone to my school have faced internet restrictions. This is to be expected for obvious reasons. What isn't expected is that our internet access is so limited it is affecting our research capabilities. It has gone to the point where 90% of pictures are blocked, Picture search engines are blocked, and 95% of all web sites are blocked. With the exception of the few that have no educational value and do no good for us as students once so ever. Over the past year and a half friends and I have found web translators and various proxies to "Bypass" the web blocks. This worked up to a little while ago. We had this site that is protected by .htaccess. You must have a user name and password to be able to access it and it was accessible from school.We used this site to pass out information to our fellow students about this subject. The problem is very simple. All of our proxies/ web translators have been discovered and blocked. The IT Guys have restricted the computers so much that they are almost unusable. What I am asking is for is help on finding or creating a permanent solution to getting around Novel. We have tried many things such as changing The IP's in witch the web browser goes threw to logging into the actual computer and hacking our way on to the internet. We have failed. Any and all help would be much apperciated.
Thanks,
Zachary Redmon (Zachary940)

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

Still, you should petition to lax the blocking. Get enough names, and a good enough reason (like yours) and it'll work.
I mean, come ON! What are they restricting, Google? Yahoo? Congress.gov?!? There is no way these can be inappropriate!
