Hello again everyone. I recently made a post http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=31780 where I asked for assistance breaking through the firewall at my University. At the time, they had restricted only Direct Connect and other P2P programs like KaZaA. Well, on Friday, the bastards blocked Trillian, AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo Instant Messenger. This would not do.

I showed a few of the guys in my suite how to go about searching for proxy and socks forwarding programs, and one of them hit a gold mine. Allow me to share it with you.

Check Proxy Professional (you can get it on download .com).

This program gives the user a list of hundreds of external proxies that are completely anonymous. All you do is put the proxy info into your client program's proxy settings, and it should work. If you have to use a socks5 or socks4 proxy (depending on the program...KaZaA works that way only), download Socks2Http, and make that forward to the proxy, and then have the program forward to it.

So by blocking all common communication programs, they pissed off all the computer nerds, and instead of being content to not download, now a ton of people are on KaZaA again. Heh.
