Need help getting around firewall

Help! Our work computer system has a proxy on it, and it basically blocks *0% of the websites on the internet. The only stuff that isn't blocked is cnn.com, **********, etc...

Is there any way around this? I've tried looking up the IP's on some of the domains and used that instead of the actual name (like instead on shacknews.com, I used [url]http://6*.25*.**.70.[/url] This works for a handful of the blocked sites, but the rest are still a no go.

I've tried stuff like anonymizer.com, but the way the site accesses the pages:
([url]http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/htt...w.shacknews.com[/url])

The proxy blocks it because it sees the entire site in the address.

Does anyone know of any other possible thing to try? Maybe a proxy site that doesn't use the verbatim web address? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

hi,

try this kind of conversion

eg:
[url]http://*52056*262[/url]

This means you connect using normal web http to host *52056*262

*52056*262 is just another way of writing the IP address 20*.2*5.*5*.*74

The URL is accessible as [url]http://20*.2*5.*5*.*74[/url] and is hosted by 20*.2*5.*5*.*74

DATA , how is that number just another way of writing a completely different number? Please explain because that's a new one on me!

-------------------------------------------
20*.2*5.*5*.*74 is like all IP's a serie of decimal figures of the original hexadecimal denomination.
this is the reason why there's a limitation to 255. (FF)
for instance:
20* in decimal is D* in hex
2*5 in decimal is D7 in hex
*5* in decimal is *F in hex
*74 in decimal is AE in hex
now you put back the hex string (without the dots)
d*d7*fae and you convert it to decimal
that will give
*52056*262
I made a small exe file to make the convertion on the fly but you can do it by hand (hope u have two :-)

By the way,
some intelligent firewalls will simply ignore your request if you give the decimal values like I explained earlier.
so, good luck and do not surf on porn sites from your company :-)

hi,


Its like fever said..
U can make a programme to do the required as fever did or
u can use the scientific calculator in accesories in windows for ur base conversions.

Get ur nicks registered,so that there r no more conflicts :)

Hi Everyone,

Just a question about decimal conversion to get around proxies i tried this myself using calulator to convert IP addresses and tried to connect to the sites using the decimal equivalent i.e [url]http://*26**76*24/[/url] would be [url]www.clanbase.com[/url] but when i tried to connect it said it couldnt find the server... even though i could ping that address and get a reply...... any ideas why?:confused:

Thanks! I'm downloading it now. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

Oh, and the reason I'm going through all this trouble is because the computer system at work will basically be my only internet access for about a year. (hard to explain). So it isn't just about goofing off or looking at porn (I already have plenty of that :)). It's more about just being able to go see stuff like wether my basketball team won, or read the Dilbert for the day. You know, the important stuff!

Perhaps you might want to check your work computer to see if boss installed a keylogger? :)

HI,


BlackSheep,I guess that it might be a port forwarder.

HI CIPHER,

.e [url]http://*26**76*24/[/url] would be [url]www.clanbase.com[/url] but when i
tried to connect it said it couldnt find the server... even though i could ping that address and get a reply......


Well i opened [url]http://*26**76*24[/url] on my browser,after a minute or 2 i was redirected to [url]http://*26**76*24/news.php[/url]

its working fine for me.
