Proxy Use

[Fiestaguy]

Hello. I am Fiesta the sheep and i am asking for your help.

Recently my school has done something terrible, My school has installed this devilish program called "Fortiguard" Anyone who is connected to the school network now cannot access any sites that have to do with:
"Entertainment" (Surprisingly we can still access YouTube) "Proxy Avoidance" (Yes, It blocks sites that can disable the blocking. Well played) and "Games" Wich Blocktopia.net and Blocktopia.net/forums fall under. So unless we threaten Baker/GmK/Whoever owns this site to get us an HTTPS link it would be harder and harder for me to stay over control of my business.

I am currently using "MySSLUnblocker" (HTTPS://MySSLUnblocker.com)

This solves the problem, Right?
Nope.
The problems are:
Spoilers are always open making everything an unavoidable mess.
Half of the buttons don't work.
Inbox and Alerts need to be done via my profile.
Erotic 18+ Ads provided by MySSLunblocker
I don't get notified.

Now. Anyone knows something better than this?

Fortiguard as with most website blockers use a whitelist to outcast links that are not accepted by the school's DNS server.

Therefore, you go about using a different DNS server for your viewing.

For windows 7:
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > right click on whatever connection you're using currently (ethernet or wireless) > properties > IPv4 > click OUT of "Obtain DNS server address automatically" and input a working DNS server address. You can look one up via google.

CAUTION!!! Be aware of what DNS server you are joining, so that no one is able to illegally access your computers private information. Also denote that this tactic does not always work. Although it is the easiest method aside from a proxy.



or....
just google search various proxy's thats about all you can do.

I don't really use mac's so i cannot tell you step-by-step how to get to the network configuation settings.

but for mac, its the same theory. Just change the DNS server. by the IPv4 [itll be in the network settings] from whatever it currently is, to a new working one.
