Getting around a net nanny type internet
 

Is there any way to get around a net nanny type internet? I'm up north on the rigs and it won't let me go on youtube, or play games online not to mention no pron. Is there any way to get around it?

Try a free proxy.

For youtube, try connecting using their IP's

Im more wondering about games.. I'm basically being paid to sit up here on my computer with nothing to do so I want to play games haha. How hard is it for someone to set up a proxy server at my home?

wtf?
u in china or something?

try www.addictinggames.com


i can't believe i reminded myself of that site right now, lol. big mistake.

i love addictinggames..i play on it all the time at my other job haha.. but do you want to know something funny? they've blocked that too :( it's like they've blocked anything and everything that takes more bandwith then simple internet browsing. there is a way around i just found though.. they've got some wireless stations up here that for some reason aren't controlled by the webfilter.. but they're hella slow.. like 0.6mb/min download speed

Are you able to download/install anything?

yup, im on my own laptop
