So my school district decided to block gnarshmallow...but not NS?? Somewhat confused as to why they did this... but does anyone have a site with gnarshmallow on it? As I said before the gnarshmallow offical site is blocked for some reason?

Nevermind I know what you are talking about, but the funny thing is... my school decided to block most of the popular proxy websites...any other suggestions?

same thing here, they have a filter over the proxies now. if you find a way to make it work you should post here.

There are always proxies out there that aren't blocked, and that's a promise. Just revise your searches or tweak them and you'll eventually find one.

But what happened that your school would block gnarshmellow? Have you told other people about it and its starting to catch on? That's usually how it happened. Too many people played it and word got to the IT guys.

One of these should work

http://www.azproxies.com/

If you can't find one that works on that site, congratulate the tech department at your school.

It might just be facebook screwing up, but some of these do mess up the scripts the site is trying to run in order to hide it.

my school might just fail at blocking sites, but I just click tools- internet options- Advanced- reset. click okay and close that window, open a new one and i can get to anything. but like I said my school might just suck at blocking sites.

nope havnt told anyone bout it and i HIGHLY doubt that there is a large population of people at my school who know of the site. It might be because it says like "flash game" or something somewhere in the site because thats what my schools blocking system picks up

Back in high school my school had an amazing blocking system. You couldn't get to anything, but I found a way around it. All of the school computers used internet explorer. I decided to download and install firefox onto my flash drive. So whenever I used a computer and wanted to go in the internet, I would plug in my flash drive and use firefox and nothing was blocked. The filter only blocked shit on internet explorer. Maybe try that.

Get Ultra Surf 9.6( its the newest one) download it on your computer, place it on a usb, plug the usb into the computer at school on your file. and load it on the computer. Having ultra surf unblockes everything that the school board has blocked, porn, fb, myspace, msn, youtube, nothing is blocked once you have this

Two things,

one my school is bullshit, blocked cool math games, as well as almost every game site existant to man. I googled Ski Runner and clicked on every site for 20 pages all blocked, even some arabic site for christ sakes. Last year NS wasn't blocked but this year it is. Its bullshit and I hate it, for fun in school I play math computer games.

Also, our school uses Chicken of The VNC to monitor what your doing, and if you are on something, bust you. If you don't know what it does it basically makes it so someone can watch what the whole school is doing as long as they are connected to the internet. Now, there are a few sites that aren't blocked like the Sunday River forum so I go on that, but whats the best idea for making it so I don't get caught. Just turn off airport everytime I'm reading a thread? Also, at home I go on Facebook and NS on my school mac, because i'm too lazy to get my real mac from upstairs, so other than deleting all private data (history, cookies, etc) and searching in spotlight history, and names of the webpages i've been on, what other steps can I take to ensure the tech department doesn't find it. I know they use something other than history, so what could it be.
