My friend showed me a trick he used to get past our school's firewall. He types in the IP address for a website rather than the website itself, and it works. We've been able to get it to work for YouTube, but we haven't been able to get the IP addresses of other websites. How can I obtain the IP address of a website?
oh, I know this, gime a second to remember. on the other hand, I have a video somewhere... Why not just use a proxy? its easier...
hmm, I bet they aint got emm all anywho: http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to-bypass-school-internet-filters-WITHOUT-prox/
In windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 it isn't MS-DOS, but just "command prompt" Anywho: Start->run->cmd (or win+r ->cmd) Code: ping www.google.com I always just SSH'd into my home machine, then either had a remote session or tunneled a proxy to solve any problems... edit: I just read the site and good lord they took the scenic route in getting to the command prompt.
I use to ssh into my webserver (slicehost ftw ) and just tunnel all of my http through that and i could get past the proxy. It is better than the php proxy or cgi proxies because youtube dosnt work on them, but it works when tunneling. But it dosnt work anymore! I was SOOOO upset! On the macs i was using ssh from terminal and on windows i was using putty, and they are both not working! I couldnt believe it! I have tried changing the ssh port from 22 to 8080 and it still dosnt work! I cant believe it. Tried pinging my site and everything, and it still didnt work.
hmm my old school was dum enough to leave the router with the default password... so i logged into it and removed all blocks, so after that the whole school could go to all sites.
Well it was like this for the last 2 months of school, and they never noticed...hehe i even locked some idiot local IP out so he couldnt get on the internet haha, of course i removed it after a few days
