Getting around school site bans...

[Prone]

Same problem at my old school. My senior year, someone published an article in the paper about this subject.

Ah, the problem is that they've disabled cookies...and I can't get into the internet options to fix it Oh well.

In that case, stupid web proxies!

Just download Firefox or some other browser and change the settings.

They keep a log of what we download and have suspended kids for downloading firefox, as we've all signed a "Technology Agreement". I'm SOL on this one.

I'm not condoning getting away from what other kids are doing, but a VPN connection will show up in the logs, I'm sure, but thats only what the log will show as the proxy won't be able to see inside of the connection.

Can you use USB ports? And do you have a USB memory stick?

Because you could always install Firefox on the USB stick and then plug it in and just run it off of that.

That wouldn't solve anything, unless your saying that the USB drive wouldn't have any restrictions.

Even then, the program settings have to be updated in the registry, unless they are kept inside of the firefox folder, which I doubt.

You need special permissions to update the registry, which normal school accounts can't do.
