the link was broken

I'm guessing he meant www.meebo.com

I used to use a couple, before the school blacklisted them...
www.proxify.com
www.the-cloak.com
and there were others, but I forgot them

I don't know if this is "breaking" the firewall but anyway,

Our school has very limited internet acess, I mean super limited 10mb per day can't use google images limited,
our computers run a mix of Windoze 2000 and XP and upon login, it shows a window that says, "loading your personal setings" what we do is yank the ethernet cord out the back of the computer exactly 5 seconds after that message appears. This gives us no blocked sites and unlimited web usage. Pretty awsome.

There are colleges that block websites? That's pretty smurfy.

If you're paying to be there, you should be able to go to whatever website you want, as long as you don't use an inordinate amount of bandwidth.

check it out, use the google language translator (under language tools on the google page) to act as a proxy - just put in the (presumably english) website, and tell it to translate from chinese or something into english, and presto, you have an english version of whatever website u wanted.

Go to Google and search for "Japanese web page viewer" and click the first link. Enter webpage in field, click View, and you're bypassed.

Do colleges actually block out sites on their internet connections? For state schools I don't see how it could be constitutional.

For private schools, it just seems like a smurfy thing to do. People are paying to be there. Let them access what they want, within a certain bandwidth limit.

A problem with using sites with "proxy" in, is that its often filtered out - http://www.hidingyour.info was good when it was up.
