Need help getting past filters in school….?

the program we use at our school is Novell and Netware…I think they are both together

  1. this is a common problem at schools (mine does it too), and there are many ways to get around it depending on what program the school is using to block certain websites (I'm not familiar with the one your school uses). your best bet is to download mozilla firefox onto your school's computer. chances are your school computer won't let you download anything, so in that case download it at home onto a memory stick and put it on the school computer (or if it won't even let you do that, you can run the program directly off of the memory stick). firefox can, in most cases, get to any site you want even if it's blocked by a firewall because firefox has built-in proxy-connection settings. basically, this means that instead of making a direct internet connection to a website, it makes a connection to an anonymous web-surfing service, and then the web-surfing service makes a connection to that website and sends the information back to you. the firewall doesn't see your computer connecting to the website because it can only detect the connection to the anonymous web-surfing service. to get firefox to do this, open firefox and click on tools—>options—–>advanced… then click on the "network" tab, and under Connections, click on "settings". select "auto-detect proxy settings for this network", and click "okay".
    if this still doesn't work, it's because the program your school is using is really smart and can either trace indirect connections through anonymous services, or it has blocked connections to any services that are anonymous and unspecified. in this case, all you can do is use a proxy website, which does essentially the same thing as a proxy server. the benefit to proxy sites is that each one uses its own unique anonymous service, so even though some might be blocked by your school's computer, you'll eventually find one that works. however, proxy sites are VERY slow, and are best used as a last resort. my school's system uses NetSweeper, which is one of the best filtering systems out there. I get around it using this site: https://kproxy.com. the "s" needs to be there, it's not a typo. if you're looking for more proxy sites, go to www.bestproxysites.com. hope that helps!
  2. What you are asking for is info to carry out an illegal act, which is namely, bypassing a computer/network system's security measures.

    Besides, Netware is probably doing nothing as far as filtering your content.

  3. Do your web surfing outside of school. The filters are not supposed to be gotten past.
  4. No, you do not need help to get yourself suspended from school. You are in school to learn and to get good grades not to go on myspace and other sites you can go on in your spare time at home.

    Smarten up and pay attention in school.

  5. Forget it. If the system is set up properly, you can't get past the filters and indeed may only get in trouble for trying.
  6. kudos for finding out the operating system but I'm afraid there is pretty much nothing you can do except find an exploit in netware like a stack overflow and insert a stub that will somehow jump to novell netware's execute program syscall with the name of a program that you somehow got on the server that will reconfigure the firewall to allow whatever website you want.

    Basically the bottom line is that it's too complicated and stupid to do that there is no reason to do it. Just use the internet at home or somewhere else.
