Bypass School Filter - Easily Get the Sites You Want



A filter restricts users from accessing certain websites on computers connected to a central network. This type of software is used to make sure that all users adhere to the policy it enforces with regard to viewing web pages. The goal for using this type of filter is to provide a user with security and safety while accessing the internet. To get passed the filter you will have to bypass school filter though.

Read the Policy on the Internet

Reading the schools internet policy for using their computers will give you some insight into the types of sites they deem appropriate as well as some of the things that will trigger the filter to block the pages you wish to view. Some things that will make the filter block you are keywords, Meta tags, or just plain websites that are on a specified list. With this information you will be better able to bypass school filter.

Use a Circumventor Web Page

Set up a circumventer web page. A circumventor web page is a kind of proxy server that will let you bypass school filter settings and gain access to pages that are restricted. A circumventor page does this by redirecting the blocked page you wish to view through a page that is not restricted so that you can have access.

Have a Web Proxy Service

Having your own web proxy service is how to bypass school filter. You will have to make your own web proxy service from an off campus computer. Put your proxy program on this machine and run the software from there. It must be connected to the internet constantly or it won't serve its purpose. Make sure to write down the computers IP address and take it with you when you are ready to use it at school.

Enable the Proxy Server

Once you are at school and ready to enable your web proxy service log on to one of the schools computers. Next you will have to open up one of the browsers that the school allows. Go to internet options in the tools drop menu. Then you will have to choose enable a proxy server. Then enter your IP address and you can then bypass school filter.

When you do this, remember that the school has instituted their policies regarding the internet and its usage, in an effort to protect its student body from people who would prey upon them. It has also done so to keep the student body from being exposed to things such as pornography and violence, which could negatively affect them.
