i just realised i can access this at school, you should try!!!

[John B.]

I dont go to school? so is that yes or no?

[Curt]

I am at University, their blocklist is very limited, so I can access pretty much any website while I am on my laptop in class. I scan the Discourse fairly frequently while in class.

just edited the poll choices for you two, so you can change your vote

[John B.]

thank you. man the goal is so close.

[Kanped]

I don't go to school, but I'm pretty sure I could access it from almost any school if I wanted.  School security is a bit crap most of the time.

Quick! Enjoy the Discourse before naughty keywords cause your WebSense to block it!

Or you can just use a proxy to get here.

whats the proxy? do you know it? my school security is quite high, look up holiday vacations and you get banned because of vacation

Wow.... That seems a bit harsh.

A web proxy is this

"A web proxy is a proxy server that passes along http protocol requests like any other proxy server. However, the web proxy accepts target URLs within a user's browser window, processes the request, and then displays the contents of the requested URL immediately back within the users browser. "

basically it allows you to access websites through a website. So if you are able to find a web proxy that you school has not blocked then you are able to view any web content you want through that because you will not be accessing the website you want ( say, the Discourse ) via your schools server, but though the proxy.

You could also run your own browser off a USB pen through a host of proxy servers, like Firefox with the FoxyProxy plugin, if your school has banned the proxy websites, too.  It sounds like they're using a list of banned words, so it's just a matter of finding a proxy whose title doesn't contain any of those words.  You could try proxify.co.uk camolist.com goodhider.com fastnopopups.com etc. etc.

Oh, I'm in university, not school. Is it called the same in English?
I'm not native English speaker so I don't know what people usually use.

By the way, did u get the card I sent you?

[Bolt]

Fine at university, there's no proxy or anything there. I'm surprised it's blocked at some places but that shows the reach of some filters. I think the keyword blocking is a bit on the ridiculous side though. I had a lot of trouble researching for a video games essay I was writing in college because of this.

Yes, it is.  School usually means education up to the age of 18 (or 16 if you leave early; not sure you can do that in America).

[John B.]

yea i can remember my highschool blocking everything under the sun. and place you could get pictures from you had to hope would do well straight from google.

[John B.]
