Getting to blocked sites...

Like I said Proxy sites are already blocked

If that's what is blocking you then changing your DNS should make you get around it.

 

In Windows 7:

  1. Control Panel
  2. Network And Internet
  3. Network and Sharing Center
  4. Change adapter settings
  5. Right click the connection you are using
  6. Properties
  7. Double click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
  8. Check "Use the following DNS server addresses"
  9. Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
  10. Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

Here is a picture to help you out. Your settings will probably not look exactly the same as mine, so just focus on the ones inside the red rings. If you are using wireless then you should select that in step 5, instead of the local area connection with the cable icon.

Set up your own proxy or VPN?

Reboot the PC with a Ubuntu thumb drive.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
