Well our school computer blocks certian websites and i need something to let it work any ideas?

Depends on how they are filtering the sites. If they are using a proxy device then you are pretty much stuck. You could try to change the proxy host in the browser itself, but all packets will hit this proxy device and possibly get filtered anyway.

The other scenario is that they are simply pointing to a proxy host via the settings in the browser. If you have admin privies on the computer you should be able to change the host to another proxy host. You can google Open Proxy to find a list of open proxy hosts. If they are restricting you to IE use and they are using Server 2003 or Server 2008 and the computers are connected to a domain and they are forcing a GPO then you can do nothing at all to change this. You could try to sneak in a copy of FF on a thumb drive, note not the installer but an extracted install of firefox or safari.

Also you may be getting filtered similar to the way I filter my users. I am using a proxy server in conjunction with DNS monitoring. I have a whitelist of sites my users can access setup in DNS, if they hit something not on the whitelist the DNS query itself is dropped and does nothing.

Here is a list of Open Proxy servers.

is there a program that let me uses some proxys to if i put it in my USB and test it out?

You can go to proxy sites that will encode URLs for you. Tech-faq. com/proxy updates daily with tons of sites. I usually just copy and paste a bunch of these into a notepad and save it to my flashdrive every morning.

In IE, Internet Options click on Connection Tab, Select LAN Settings, at the bottom you will see Proxy Server settings. Note that IE settings are global, this means anything set here will go through that proxy, so if you used anything that goes across http that uses Windows proxy settings it is set here.

Firefox v3 Tools | Options | Network Tab | Settings, you can set your proxy options here. If you have a thumb drive that runs software from the thumb drive like the Sandisks and the U3 software you can install a webbrowser to it and run with your remembered settings from the device. Though you will have to be able to execute software on the machine to use that.

There are decent guides up on the net on how to bypass proxy servers, some go so far as to turn your home network into a proxy server by doing some port forwarding for requests. I'd have to advise against that method as you would basically be serving requests for anyone that found out you had this configured. Basically a smart network scanner could figure this out and just start using your network for it's requests and if it was requesting say child porn, those requests could be traced to your network, a very bad situation.

I'd just stick with using an open proxy.

You can setup your home computer to be a proxy as well since your school probably doesn't block home IPs (at least not right away until they monitor your activity and so on).

If proxies fail, you can always try remote desktop applications. When I was in HS, I used LogMeIn and just browsed through my PC at home since it was always left on.

For any method that you connect through your home system, I'd suggest getting an IP to Domain Name service of some sort, similar to DYNDNS.org
