if you want to inform them of a website you want allowed, go to ur site administrator (usually the principal or higher authority). i doubt much will happen but at least you tried. looks like boarding school ppl will need to go to internet cafes to get their porn now :p

Back in the days, people at my school bypassed the school filters using google images.

Oh yeah, we can't go on ANY image sites. I tried altavista and yahoo images :(

And we can't search a lot of taboo words on google like "homosexual" so I was pwned when I had to research gay rights in Commerce last year.

Use a proxy that encrptys all commmunications between the proxy and browser. Then you guys can surf porn to your heart's content.

We attempt to click on the Cache links but I think it's game over for that.

For fun I typed in "Gay" in Wikipedia and find out why homoseuxals feature an undesirable flamboyancy.

PISS.

Same as above, except I don't need or want porn especially at school.

Yes, I can go for 8.64x104 seconds without porn.

dnt use internet explorer download mozilla n firefox
its a little hard to install a program on a school computer, they tend to disable that.

also, good luck finding a proxy that works, they tend to block them too.

Well... back in our day, not long ago. Our IT class found out the administrator password rather amusing how we did it hahaha. We did it twice actually. The first time the whole school was using it LOL.

Towards the end of our HSC, we just decided to wait it out and not go for a 3rd attempt("you won't receive your hsc!"). I actually remember submitting a ticket to gain access to a site: "youtube.com" My claim was: "It's an educational tool" LOL

Also, the 2nd time we got it, some kids installed Quake 3 on it or Quake 2. Don't exactly know, but we played that in IT class when teacher was out (which was majority of time hahaha)
Another thing 2 years before that, I found the Mblaster virus and put it in the shared server (everyone had access to it, for specific classes)
That thing got spreaded around so much on older computers. The IT head teacher chose a group of volunteers to fix it, funny enough... it was the ones that put it on hahhaha.

But you can still use portable apps on a thumbdrive.
A few translation sites like Babel/Google also acts as some kind of a proxy server.
