Gamedev Blocked
Author
My school blocked Gamedev, so I was wondering if there was some way to get around it. I can get to nehe.gamedev.net, but not the main site. It was automatically blocked under the catagory of 'Games'. It also blocks proxy sites. I was wondering if there is annother way to access gamedev securley or some other way. I have asked for them to unblock it, but they are busy with other problems, (like how I was able to find a configuration file, view the c: drive, etc.)
Step 1 - Host a proxy at home
Step 2 - Write down IP
Step 3 - Use proxy from school
when they block your IP then change it ;)

Yeah, thats usually not a good idea. If you do bypass anything a school puts on a computer, you should tell them just how you did it, and how they can pervent students from doing in the future.
My question is - why would your school block such an awesome educational resource? Seems odd

At my old highschool the filter called it an "online gambling site". I knew what the answer would be if I asked them to change it. Kids where suspended for playing 4-colour Qbasic games and I was once warned just for opening up the DOS console. I was also asked to leave several computer labs after being "caught" programming, because programming=OMG HAX. The level of computer related idiocy at most schools knows no bounds. For example I once told the admin that one of the video cards wasn't working so he replaced the monitor...
Edit: Kind of rambled on there, the point was just be happy if your school isn't run by Nazis.

Use google like a proxy server. I just can't see your school blocking google.

My school has the same exact problem. I can get to gamedev, but not able to post or log in (due to the scripts being blocked, even though the site isn't).
But I have been able to watch music videos, almost all the time. video.google isn't blocked [grin]
chaosgame: They're worked up about you viewing the c: drive? Wow... your school admins sound paranoid...
There was a guy at my school a few years ago that knew EVERYTHING about the school network. When he graduated, they immediately hired him to be a network admin. [grin]
