I remeber that in our school a few years ago(when we weren't being blocked by the local county safeguard) and we used to gon a cool site, the next day it was of course banned. lol that was funny. I rember ways of getting around it, for example opening a site in bablefish.

What is banned? College computer ip so you cant use board or the whole gp32x.de domain. If domain, check if it is only gp32x. Maybe other domains are banned as well. Maybe college authorities decided to cut you off from entertainment and only boring learning releated pages are available

 

[PinkSpider]

The whole site. I can still get on gameforum.scmgames.net so it cant be boards. I had been visiting here every day at college. GP32 spain still works :/

 

[rcx21000]

They prolly looked at logs, saw that you were going to a "bad" website a lot, then banned the domain

 

[EvilDragon]

Yes, there exists a software which updates itself using the internet to block various sites for school / work.
gp32x.de has been stated to be a "gaming / entertainment" site.

It has been banned at our work, too. Luckily I can decide that the site should NOT be banned!

 

[PinkSpider]

lol. Instead of going on gp32x I did loads of shopping on amazon.

lol. Instead of going on gp32x I did loads of shopping on amazon.

go on bablefish and translate this site from english to english. Then it should be viewable. That worked for me on loads of sites that were blocked. Give it a go.

 

[Steve-O]

or try http://proxify.com

That should work

At my school they don't want us fucking with the computers so they don't restrict us so we don't have anything to complain about. Because if some site were blocked, people WILL find a way around it. one way or the other.

 

[PinkSpider]

I usually just cache the site with google but its no good with forums

 

[Ernest]

Pages only seem to get banned at our skool if every1 goes on them but tis only me that goes on the gp32 forums and i just sit down with a laptop and word minimised onn it reading the boards!!

 

[skysnapper]

laptops and internet at school feck! when i was at school it was fountain pens and paper, if you were lucky you had a posh calculator that could do graphs... except they were frowned upon...
nearest we got to compter were BBC computers and crappy 386 with ega gfx cards which were well shite running window 3.1 for turd groups, running crappy apps.

How thing s change in 10 years school must be fun now

 

[PinkSpider]

Isnt there a way I can get on legitimately?

All I have to do in college now is talk to people on the intranet

I was going to suggest entering the ip address in the browser, but I tried it and it goes to some bonkers foreign site - why does www.gp32x.de resolve to this ip??

 

[Ernest]

Say youre doing some special project on the use of ICT and ur doing some bit about the gp32 and you need access to this site, might work, buth then on our system at skool all i have to do is hck into it its a piece they even had it so u cud get into the network files through dragging my network onto the task bar, we found soo much shit on there it was unbeleivable account records showing that our headmaster pocketed money the lot was unbeleivable sadly they locked that and its harder to get in not much harder tho, but the whole point was sayin that you could hack into it and change the settings so you can view gp32x.de, it may work.

 

[PinkSpider]

I only have 4 weeks left. Might fuck up the system (there is a bug on the system, most of the times u log on u get access to everything; the C drive and all.) My friend got 8 accounts that way XD.

Because it is ip of my provider. gp32x.de is a virtual server and doesnt have own ip. But it will be changed this month and i should get ip for gp32x.de

Try gp32.emu.pl, they may have just done a single domain block.

Me and some friends made a visual basic web browser that surfed with the google cache or wayback machine, however both URLs were blocked (sad, really, when the cache is genuinely useful). Teachers pissed all the time because their educational sites are getting blocked too - RM SafetyNet, I believe, are rather zealous. Other perfectly innocent sites have been blocked as part of mass keyword filtering that doesn't apply all the time.

Another way to get around most annoying proxy servers (RM are too dumb to fix this) is to use the Google cache but replace a couple letters with hex equivalents. As far as I know, being a Google page actually whitelists you except for the cache, but a quick c%61che (or something like that) gets around it, and you can access your page. Still, for anything more than single page views I'd recommend a proxy. You can set up a CGI-Proxy or similar easily on your web server or even your machine at home (give it a no-ip or similar account), but make sure you rename the scripts and make sure it encodes the URL if the URL is being passed about, to stop the proxy blocking any pages at URL level.

Lol like PinkSpider I don't have long in school (in fact, 4 weeks) but I do remember these ridiculous computer exploits:

- Jack-ass admins block access to A: drive - it's hidden from My Computer view. Type it in directly!

- Jack-ass admins block access to C: drive - double-click a folder on the start menu. This opens up an Explorer window -> back up and you're in C:\ root.

- Jack-ass admins block FTP access. Open up a command prompt, which has ridiculously not been blocked, and telnet your way in.

- Jack-ass admins block IRC but fail to block IRC as a keyword, enabling widespread use of Java applets and CGI gateways.

- Jack-ass admins are thwarted by pupils disabling the proxy server settings in IE, accessing the internet unfiltered. So they remove Internet Properties. Solution: Install Mozilla

- Jack-ass admins then remove the hardware source of unfiltered internet, only to mess up every single computer on the network. For the next couple of weeks students had to manually enter proxy server details every time they logged on (humourously leading to the re-enabling of the Internet Properties dialogs)

- Jack-ass admins boast about system's security whilst we scorn them. They jokingly say 'well, if you think it's so insecure, why don't you crack it. And make sure we can see it - not some minor exploit that doesn't do anything. We've got all the latest patches!'

Twenty minutes later the Internet Explorers of half of one computer lab have new and obscene title bar messages.

- Jack-ass admins are enraged when some random students discover Windows Messenger. They quickly start sending NET SEND messages to each other, until some rumours circulate about a NET SEND *. Nobody has the guts to do it ... for about an hour. Within days, network-wide messages of hilarity and obscenity are a common event for all computer users, including the headmaster - who was not particularly amused when he was asked to perform fellatio upon logging in to his classroom tracker system. Twice.

- Prior to that the jack-ass admins were running a 95 network system, ridiculously. They now gush over the 2000 network and its security, yet that doesn't explain why they Ghost-restore about six computers a day, have to keep reformatting a bunch of older PCs as soon as they've stored profiles for six users because they don't know how to stop the profiles being stored, and once allowed my friend to log onto a computer only to find he had instant admin access with the full suite of profile-snooping tools.

Now of course, I don't know how to fix half these bugs, but I'm not a network technician who gets paid an exorbitant sum to sit around and listen to pirated music all day either. These guys are hypocrites to the extreme: blocking warez of all forms, in fact, they have been known to observe any site that gets more than about 3 unique users a day and block it there and then, yet they have tons themselves which they use the T1 or similar connection of our school for. Oh, and RM have a nasty feature called snipe blocking where you could just be reading a page and suddenly it refreshes after 3 seconds with an inexplicable BLOCKED message, probably due to some advert being loaded in an IFRAME. Basically, these losers should really be out of a job.

And you guys think you got it bad
