Does any one know what's the deal with schools blocking good sites on the internet?

Define "good". If you mean porn, chances are good they don't want their reputation tarnished by having it implied that their staff is low enough to use their occupation as an excuse to view pornography.\nIn any case, they block "fun" sites because they want you to focus on the task at hand, usually homework or classwork. Sorry... I know how you feel, my former high school blocked a large chunk of the internet from computer usage. There were the occasional cracks, but they were patched rather quickly.

it can be due to a slower Internet connection.  Schools usually have a T1 broadband connection which is faster than the DSL or cable broadband connections that most homes usually have.  If you have a dial-up connection at home, then it willway too slow.  Thats might be a reason why all websites open slow at home.\n\nComputers don't have feelings :)

Trying to get past blocks at your School?\n\nYou'll still get caught. Do you think your School is that DUMB?\n\nAll you kids trying to get on myspace from school are the actual dummies.\n\nCase in point. Your School's IT department monitors ALL PC usage. What that means is that they see everything you type, click on or do on that computer at every moment of the day. Then at the end of the day or week, whatever the protocol is, they print out this handy little list of security violations. The exact time and Computer and person who was using it is known and the person responsible for violating School security policies will be in serious trouble.\n\nSo go ahead and try and find out.\n\nIs it worth getting on your precious little myspace page to see what this or that person said about this or that person??

I can't imagine that a school would ever put up a site like this or that government regulations would allow it. Although your intentions seem harmless enough, you can understand how this might violate students' privacy and put them in potential danger.

You cant, like any school/college they have blocked it.  And if you use another site to get round it, the school will find out and block that site also.

lol well you could always do it from home. if that dosnt work i find most schools only block sites if you type in the url www.myspace.com and try to go directly try going through google to get to it. worked reasonably well and most schools. if that donst work you will have to find out what the school is using to admin there network and find out what the admin password overrides are then reset it so you can go there. mind you in most areas this will get you exspelled and in some a large fine and loose of your computer

well i'm in school rite now...i have a computer class - sometimes i sneak, and sometimes my teacher gives the class free time.  i'm sorry ur so "angry" about students at school bein on the site but u can't stop them all even if the school had a net tracker to block certain types of websites (like mine does)...and my teacher does watch out for us bein on the internet when we're not supposed to (like me rite now)...but he can't watch all the computers at one time now, can he?

quoted from another user:\n\nThis is my new standard format response for questions concerning bypassing blocking software by students at school. First, if you had spent more time studying while you were in school, you wouldn’t have to ask questions about the internet. If you spent more time on your homework and less worrying about why so-and-so has more “internet friends” you might be less concerned with the proxy server bypass that will let you use your schools computer for non-school related activities. When you graduate and get a job so you can afford to buy a computer and pay for internet access I guarantee you myspace will be the least of your concerns. Until said time (if you graduate) quit wasting my tax money by surfing the net more than you study your grammar. Yes, it is my tax money that pays for your education. Chances of you being a prep-school/private school kid and not having one-on-one supervision while you update your myspace is about 4 million to 1. If it really is that important that you have to access it during school hours, why even go to school? Ask mommy and daddy if you can stay home tomorrow and flirt with child predators online. I am sure they won’t mind.

If teachers ask you some questions which pushes you to go into blocked websites........I am starting to wonder about your school !

Check whether ur Internet security options aren't blocking these sites. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security. Make sure that the severity isn't too high.

The answer would depend upon several things.\n1. What sites are blocked?\n2. Why are the sites blocked?\n3. Who blocked the sites?\n\nIf you're in school as you write your question, I'm sure the sites are blocked by the network administrators for a reason.

You need to go to a web sites that provides "proxy" server access.  From the proxy server you can access any web site you wish because the filtering software at your school won't know what your looking at "on the other side" of the proxy server.  \nProblem is, most of these filtering software programs that your school has also know that proxy servers are used for this and BLOCK THEM TOO!\nSo, next step is to install your own proxy software on a computer that is connected to the internet, typically some home computer that has a broadband connection.

It might be acting as a proxy server. Turn it off for the sites that you can't get too.

Your Problem - Root:\nYour school network administrator is using Proxy Server through which he can block certain sites of his interest..\n\nSolution:\nYou can by-pass this by following certain networking rules.. But, making it much simpler to you, you can use the proxy server of some other server (Through certain websites)... I shall give you a website link, see if it works...\n\nhttp://www.browseatwork.com\n\nAll you got to do is that, go to the specified site and enter the website address that u want to visit in the query box that is provided, n then, click "BrowseAtWork"... Its absolutely safe and u can even performed secured operations (for instance, logging in and logging out of your account in certain sites)...\n\nIf u face the problem further, then go to google and search for "nph proxy"... you can find similar websites.. But, the site I provided is a safe bet... Have a nice time!

WHAT!\n\nIf the web cafe has blocked sites then you can't get to them, especially as the majority of these are staffed by people who are probably a hell of a lot more net savvy than the users

well im guess your trying to acces it from a school etc.. the reason its blocked is to save on bandwidth eg how fast the internet can go, if your trying to get access from a school, u should be learning, u can use myspace when get home or goto a internet cafe.
