    Please I need people to give my computer advice because my dad just tried to block EC this morning and once he checks the history on my family's computer he'll know I've been here again and he'll find a way to block it for good. Please I just got here and I don't want to leave I need your help:help::help: I'm so scared I'm freaking out!:help:

    At school I used to use proxy sites to get past the many blocked sites There's billions of free ones out there, but I don't remember any names off the top of my head. Try a google search :slight_smile:

    Can you delete the history off your computer every time you come on here? Then go on other sites to make it look like you did stuff...

    How do you recover history? Norton Ghost?

    Just turn it off, if it's possible, and delete the Recycle Bin each time you clear your history. Try the Vidalia, browser, too.

    Are you sure it's just EC?

    I don't know if it's just EC but youtube still works so it's not everything thanks for the advice sdc91 and the link
     
  8. How exactly is he blocking it? If it's through the web browser, you could always download a different one (Internet Explorer/Safari/Firefox).

    house computer unfortunately, I have no idea how/why he's blocking it, but I think I'm just going to use a proxy so that he won't be able to block it
    thanks for the help everyone

    Grab a copy of Firefox Portable from www.portableapps.com. That won't leave any records on your history and you can run it from a thumb drive if you want. :wink:

    If there's a system-wide lock, then you can use proxies, or a Linux Live CD.

    No offense to you, but your father sounds like an ass. This site has been a safe haven for many people who need comfort and support in coming out. Sounds like he would rather you live in denial and misery than have a happy, normal life.

    I agree.
     
  16. So do you know why he's blocking it? Have you talked to him about it?

    Personally I'd just download a new internet browser IE Opera, Firefox. Just delete the shortcut off the desktop and change the folder name in C: Program Files to something that's not conspicuous. Consider your options

    Well if you ever need help, you could always go to http://NonClosets.com
    It's suprising how many things that site has in common with this one...

    Haha.. but idk if that'll help with him blocking EC :[
