I am still wondering how our schools filters work.
You see, script-page proxies, such as the ones that have a bar at the top and are based on a scripting language like java or php, work in my school, as long as the base page isn't blocked. However, actual request level proxies, like the ones configured for use in the advanced settings of your internet browser, don't do a thing. So does this mean the filter is based in the web browser, as opposed to the networking itself as I had previously thought?
