How to Hack the School Internet Filter (8E6 R3000)

Internet filters work well (possibly a little too well). Some internet filters are so sensitive that they even block out sites that are appropriate for school environment. This guide will show you a simple way to get around the filter even if the settings in Internet Explorer are locked.

Steps

1. # Go to www.google.com/xhtml.
2. Type "Codeen Proxy" into the box and search.
3. Look at your results and click the one labeled "NNtime Proxy lists: records 1 to 50", or something similar to this.
4. Open a second browser window and go to Portable Apps [1] and download "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition".
5. After your download finishes, open the application, and extract the files to a folder of your choosing (it doesn't matter where just as long as there is sufficient space).
6. Go into the folder where you extracted Firefox and launch the application.
7. After firefox loads go into the settings (Tools>Options...), click on the advanced tab, and click network settings.
8. After the settings window opens, click "manual proxy configuration".
9. Go back to the first window you opened and copy an ip address of your choosing and paste it into the box just below "manual proxy configuration". After that, type the corresponding port number into the box to the right of the ip address.
10. AFTER the above steps have been completed, click ok to apply all settings and close the window. Then click ok again to close the preferences menu.
11. You should now be ready to visit any website you heart desires without being blocked by the internet filter. Enjoy!

Tips

• Not all codeen proxies work, so if it doesn't work the first time just try another one until you get one that does work.
• To keep things quick, Firefox will retain proxy settings and can be stored on a flash drive.
• This may also work on other internet filters as well.

Warnings

• This is EASILY detectable by the School Division's IT dept. Even if you get away with it once or twice, be prepared to get caught.
• If you have nosy teachers, keep all unused windows minimized to avoid suspicion.
• If teachers decide to walk over and ask to view the windows on your task bar, consider an application called "acehide". It allows you to set a hotkey to entirely hide a window from view, off the taskbar and even off the ctrl-alt-del menu.
• Alternatively, you can also just resize the task bar so it's off the screen. You can always pull it back up later, and if you need the start menu, just hit the windows key.
• You can also use a program called WinXHide which helps hides programs with a combination of 2 keys.This would be better than a hotkey as teachers may see wat key you are pressing.
