So i am at a middle school "working" today. More like babysitting but thats another subject. I like to check out the web while i am here but many sites are blocked by a filtering thing called morenet. Is there any way around this? Thank god gp32x works but its not supposed to (message boards) and i am worried they will catch on soon. Any ideas? i was thinking of maybe a website that lets you go to other sites through it... any help would be grrreat! Thanks
 
Anonymous proxies such as cgiProxy. My host bans me from hosting one so I can't you out, and your software probably blocks urls with that word in. A good solution is to set up a web server at home and a DNS provider if you don't have one (such as no-ip.com) then host your own proxy.

Temporary solution to access pages include:

- ascii subbing. Read this: http://www.december.com/html/spec/esccodes.html basically you can replace letters in a URL with codes. This broke our school's RM filtering and currently still works.%61 is a lowercase A. You can only do this in subpages and directory names, NOT the domain name. For example:

http://www.stuff.com/hotasses.html might be blocked because of the word 'ass'
http://www.stuff.com/hot%61sses.html won't be blocked :)

If the url is

http://www.hotasses.com/page1.html

http://www.hot%5Csses.com/page1.html will NOT work.

For b, c ... use %62 and %63. However it's hex, so once it gets to %69 the next one is %6A. This might confuse you but hopefully you can replace a letter between A and I (as those are easy) to unblock the word.

- mirrors. These include, for example:

http://web.archive.org/*/www.wang.com

(remember, if 'wang' is blocked, use the %61 trick)

http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.wang.com

This is the Google cache.

We once made a web browser in Visual Basic that would automatically fetch cached or archived versions of the page if the originals were blocked ... ah, the memories.
