Many schools and businesses block access to websites like Myspace, YouTube, Hi5, Facebook, Hotmail, Yahoo email, etc, making it difficult (but not impossible) to get to them. You can unblock them!
If your school or office blocks access to Myspace, Friendster, Hi5, Facebook, Hotmail, or Yahoo email with a firewall or other restrictions you may be able to use a few internet privacy tricks to get around the firewalls and unblock access to Myspace, hi5, Facebook, and virtually any other website.
The easy way to unblock a site: Try Firefox to get around the firewall at school or work

Firefox is not affected by many network restrictions that system administrators may automatically apply to Internet Explorer every time you use it. More importantly, Firefox has built-in proxy-connection settings, which when used with settings that you can get from an anonymous web surfing or anonymizer service, can allow you to get to virtually any website you want even if it is blocked by a firewall. Firefox has several other features such as Google-integration for faster searches, automatic pop-up blockers and more. Firefox is free.
Get to blocked sites from school or the office, even through a firewall by using FREE Anonymizer or Private web surfing site
For years internet privacy experts have been using anonymizers, private web-surfing services, proxies and other identity hiding software or services to get to websites privately.
How anonymizers get around firewalls
An anonymizer or Private web-surfing service gets around your school or office firewall by setting up a connection between your computer and the anonymizer service, so the firewall only sees the connection from you to them. The anonymizer's computers then connect to Myspace (or Hotmail, Friendster, Hi5, etc) with their internet connection and send the data back to you. To the school's firewall it looks like your computer is connecting to the anonymizer's web address and not Myspace.com.Some schools block anonymizers and anonymous web surfing sites, especially the free ones, so you may have to try several to find one that works
The I.T. guys at your school might be smart enough to configure their firewall to block the common anonymizer and private web-surfing websites and services right along with blocking Myspace. Lucky for you, there are LOTS of different internet-privacy and anonymizer services to choose from! Just keep trying different ones until you find one that works with the firewall settings at your school.There are no guarantees
You might only have to try one or two different anonyimizers or web-proxy services before you can connect to Myspace.com from school. You might also try 50 and never find one that works if your school's firewall is really good. The only way to find it is to try. WARNING: The use of a proxy or anonymizer to bypass firewalls might be against the rules at your school. If anonymizers are against the rules at your school, use them at your own risk!

I used firefox to get on myspace and found alot of proxies that worked. It worked up intell now, somehow they found a way to block me from opening firefox or any other web browser... Its not life or death to get on there, its sorta sad that i waste my time trying. Why doesnt everyone wait till there home or go to a library?! THE INTERNET IS NOT LIFE, you could find better things to do during your spare time. Its really sad that people (and yes i have done it so this goes to me to) that we spend hours on the computer, doing nothing productive (inless work), loosing a ton of soical oportunities, to talk with people you might not even know just to feel special.
Dont get all butt hurt by this either. Its just my opinion.
IP Address logged
Hmmmmm
Yes, aren't you the prime example for people who experience "soical oportunities"? You either experience it so much you haven't learnt anything in school or you spend so much time on the internet (which you despise so much) instant messaging that you never learnt how to spell. Methinks imbeciles like you should perhaps get off your high horse and hit the books. I have a brain, you see and I have a respectable job. Despite all this, I also have the time to surf the internet while I work and any help from someone suggesting a work-around that actually works should not be dismissed.
How about you go study and leave the life lessons to your tissue box tonight while you're watching wheel of fortune, that great show ful of "soical oportunities"...you idiot.

oh ha ha
People getting mad on message boards. oh that's rich. Come on, honestly, you know we like to try to break through restrictions set up by schools or like to bending rules at work, because by nature we are selfish little myspace whores...ok, I'm semi being serious. What's there to get mad about!? If any one comments on my comment, I won't care because I probably won't bother to look at this page again. Have fun, kids(remember the site is called "grownupgeek.com") Grow up or have fun sending stupid chain letters on myspace bulletin boards. Your choice. (Yes, I do have a myspace. Guilty of whoreness too, but not chain letters. Honestly, officer.)

If Myspace (or any other website) is blocked, there is probably a reason! Get back to work before your boss see's you messin around.

The quality of the spelling on these posts makes me think that you should spend more time studying and less time on myspace

spelling?
Mabye instead of bothering people about their spelling, you should work on your punctuation!

I think the quality of the spelling on this page is shite also, and the guy up top should learn to use punctuation.

ok how i used to get around firewalls is through another site, it works like this:
1. you go to the site www.babelfish.altavista.com
2. the firewall see's the site
3. you type in the site you wish to translate, and what language you wanna translate it to
4. the firewall only see's the translator site
5. you search your site =D
Enjoy =D

this should work anywhere, work or school, right?
i work at a big company, with a giant firewall, will a proxy still work at my office?
IP Address logged
a lot of offices only use restrictions on internet explorer, using firefox might be all you need. if that doesnt work, sign up for an anonymizer service and put the settings into firefox, if that STILL doesnt work, try a proxy.. if none of those things work, forget about getting myspace from your office and get it at home like the rest of us
IP Address logged
Dude? shouldn't you be WORKING at the office, and you're trying to get around the firewall?
Good.. ehhe..
use Firefox and/or a proxy/anonymizer and you should be golden.. unless it's one of those good firewalls.. then ur skrewd.
