Throughout the life of the Internet, people have had access to vast amounts of information. Naturally, porn became available to anyone with a computer and Internet access. Software developers quickly designed Internet filters, aimed at people who have a problem with this. Unfortunately, these filters block a lot of websites that have purely non-pornographic content, or contain mostly useful things or interesting things that someone might want to see. In this article, I’ll show you how to get around these Internet filters, for whatever reason, in three main areas. Then I’ll give tips to clean up the story and not get caught.
Unfortunately, Internet filters are extremely difficult to “hack”, and even with my own knowledge of computers, I haven’t found any easy way to disable a filter. Essentially, the filter becomes part of the operating system, generally speaking, making it difficult to get rid of or temporarily disable it. However, even if you were to get rid of it, you might find yourself in a bit of trouble when whoever installed the filter finds out it’s gone.
OPTION #1 – DIFFERENT OS Therefore, the best way to get ahead is to not use the computer that is “infected” with the filter. This is simpler than it sounds, and there are two ways that work best:
1. Use a LiveCD LiveCDs are usually based on Linux and are basically a full operating system that boots from a CD and doesn’t affect your system at all. You can download a free CD (I recommend Ubuntu, http://www.ubuntu.com), put it in your computer, reboot, and voila! You have an operating system, connected to the internet, without restrictions,
two. use another computer Obviously, most people can’t do this, but you might consider keeping a shoddy computer, or building one, and using it to connect to the Internet when you need access, while your parents or whoever is restricting you isn’t around.
OPTION #2 – USE OF WEB PROXIES The most popular way to get filters are proxies. Proxies are intended for anonymity, but are commonly used to bypass filters. Many of them are blocked, however, because they blatantly do exactly what the filter is trying to prevent. Here, I’ll show you how to find your own proxy servers that are unlikely to be blocked by filters.
1. Googling “CGIProxy” Most of the proxies it uses are from a famous script called CGIProxy, by the wonderful James Marshall. Hopefully Googling this word doesn’t get blocked, and if it doesn’t, you can scroll to the last few pages and find a page titled cgiproxy and nothing more. Always go to the fifth page or more to get accurate results. However, Google “CGIProxy Error” between quotation marks, and you will get a bunch of other proxies hosted on random sites. Go to the results with the title CGIProxy error in the title, and press restartunchecking all the boxes to get where you want.
two. Googling “PHProxy” This search is similar to CGIProxy, only this time click on the web pages with the title “PHProxy” and check/uncheck all the desired boxes. Again, go to random pages in Google search, from page 5 onwards.
3. do your thing Another way, if all else fails, is to create your own page with a proxy. Find a hosting service that supports CGI for CGIProxy or PHP for PHProxy. You can find these free hosting services most of the time, and their URL will be something like domain.com/yourproxy Prayed yourproxy.domain.com. To go:
- http://www.jmarshall.com/for cgiproxy
- http://www.phproxy.org/for PHProxy
Clearing history is easier than you think If you are using the steps above, you may want to clear your history. I’ve found that it looks a bit fishy when there’s absolutely no history in your web browser, but it’s also tedious to delete all the websites you shouldn’t be on. The solution is a browser extension called Distrust, it’s for Firefox, but that shouldn’t matter because everyone should be using Firefox anyway. view the website, [http://www.gness.com/] for more details.
OPTION #3 – GET THE PASSWORD As a last resort, the password can be recovered if all else fails. This is an extremely risky way to surf happy, but it has also proven to be effective, in my case. A keylogger program can record every keystroke on that computer and save it to a password-protected file for you to open and find the password used by whoever installed the filter. The password, of course, unlocks the filter, but you have to start the keylogger, make sure you type the password, stop it, and get rid of it before someone finds out.
Year important note About keyloggers: They are considered Trojan viruses. They can harm your computer if you are not careful and can be detected by antivirus software. Be sure to try it out before someone else jumps on it. Recommended only for advanced users.
I realize I barely covered enough to give you an idea of what it can do, but this article is more for advanced users who haven’t thought of these ideas yet. If you need help I’ll be happy to help, just email me and I’ll walk you through any of these steps.
