The school monitors this stuff, so I didn't want to appear suspicious by getting one online.
Besides, anything with "proxy" in the title is blocked.
I put Tor on a flashdrive and booted it onto the computer, straight from the drive. Worked perfectly.

To clarify, we can use Google, just not Google Images.

And it blocks 85% of websites. Almost everything.
It blocks,
Youtube
Google Images
Wikipedia
Dictionary
Bing - It claimed Bing was a "researchographic Website". What?
Yahoo
Yahoo Answers
Gmail
Hotmail
Facebook
Twitter
Instagram (This made everyone go nuts)
All embedded youtube videos,
All embedded vimeo videos,
All embedded dailymotion videos,
Any and all games. No flash games allowed.
And also disables in browser apps requiring Unity, Java, and Flash.
It's insane. The worst part is that we still managed to get on some known adult websites without any trouble.
It seems like they are trying to block educational content rather than adult content. It's ridiculous.
Since I'm in the Newspaper crew, we've decided to work together and make this week's paper have one giant article talking about how the filter should be disabled or changed.
It even screwed over several teachers. They were trying to show us some videos in class but it wouldn't allow them to view them.
Hopefully we'll be able to fix this. My school was really lenient on this before.
It seems like they are trying to replace teacher monitorization with a block on everything. It's completely unnecessary.
We didn't have any internet use problems before, but we certainly do now.
