[Brox] Caught on Proxy

Posted by Broxter on June 5, 2009, 9:37 a.m.

Whoa. I ain’t blogged (on 64D) in quite a while…

Yep. On Wednesday morning we were in the computer room for the second lesson, so I logged in and went on the internet. I typed in the YoYo Games site and then… Damn. The filter page came up. I thought the website must’ve been filtered since it has games on it. Then I did the proof check – I typed in the Google site and then…Damn. The filter page came up. I then concluded the internet must be turned off in the computer room I was in and then… Damn – I saw like half of the rest of the class successfully on the internet. So, I changed the network cable to a different socket, rebooted the computer and went back on the internet… Damn. The filter page came up, again. I was just confused and decided to not go on the computer (we weren’t actually meant to be on the computers).

Then, later that day, at lunch time, I went on a computer because I was bored. I went on the internet… Damn. The filter page came up.

And then it hit me.

The previous day I’d been on a Proxy bypass site called WeCloak, because I wanted to check something out that was (annoyingly) filtered. Actually, I’d been occasionally using it for the last two months. I concluded that my internet access must’ve been banned. So, I sent an e-mail to the guy in charge of network at school, saying that it appeared my internet access had been blocked and that I hadn’t been notified.

He sent me one back in around ten minutes, saying that it was because I’d been using an illegal Proxy bypass site for the last month called WeCloak. He said that my internet access had been banned for a week. I felt a little defeated – I thought I’d managed to get away with it until Wednesday…

Could have been worse though, I suppose (I’ve heard that schools expel Proxy users). But now people keep teasing me about it.

Fail.

PS: Can some mod change my username to just ‘Broxter’? I hate that number 2 after it.

The only thing we had to do to bypass the filter was install firefox.

Notalot's old school sounds fucking epic.

Eh, my IT teacher always kept the internet unplugged from me, since he was afraid of what I was capable of… Which was screwing around on a computer and finding solitaire. XD

"Hey mom, I got expelled for surfing the internet."

That would be epic fail.
