Author Topic: what do you guys hate about your school firewall  (Read 3296 times)

I can bypass my schools firewall just by clicking the link I want to go to until it works
they installed the firewall back in 2002 so it's bound to be slightly broken now

anyway my school blocks some searches on any site and some youtube channels all for the same reason: "research"

At my high school, I actually enjoyed the filter. Everyone thought I was a loving 1337 h4x0r because I could bypass it with Tor since the IT guys didn't give a stuff. The only reason they added the filter was because my IPT class was hilarious and bludged constantly.

At my college, the filter is fairly free, since art students need to regularly tap many, *ahem* creative sources. That said, I haven't completely verified yet, but it seems as though you get booted off the network for about 10 minutes if you attempt to use a P2P client (specifically torrent programs).

using tor will shut off internet access to your system and alert the IT department.

they didn't block research

They blocked soundcloud :C

They blocked soundcloud :C
Say WHAAAAAAT?!

I'd literally die.

My school firewall blocks 4chan and other similar sites (probably research and the like) but sites like 4chan and reddit still works.

they blocked www.giveup.com
The forget is this?




Anyway, they blocked stuff for being "educational references"

Makes you wonder what they even have internet for.

The school I should be going to soon has a strange firewall. It doesn't block this forums but it blocks a bunch of other stuff.
Teachers claim that they can even see the history on our devices, pfft.. right.


They blocked soundcloud,grooveshark, and every other loving music website :C

You should be learning instead of checking the forums and facebook every so often.

Those idiots use Norton

My school seems to have only blocked Imgur for "adult content"
I use to be able to bypass it with https but that's broken too now.

the funny thing is I can still go to sites like steam and facebook and such perfectly fine

FORUMERS, YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO EXECUTE THIS MAN.
