Have you guys ever heard of these? After spending a few days tinkering with some programs, I've configured my laptop to swap from standard web browsing to completely anonymous web browsing with a single click.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)]Wiki article on Tor[/url]

Wiki article about Privoxy

It took a bit of configuring on linux, and I'm not sure what it's like under windows. Still, it could be useful to anyone who needs to get past any nasties when known proxies are blocked. It's a darknet - basically untraceable - and isn't commonly used in schools, so you might still be able to get through.

Tor and Privoxy can be found at these links.

Happy incognito surfing!

EDIT: Of course, you would need to have access to the schools wifi or something, as I doubt you could get it installed on school computers

There are a couple of plugins for Firefox that automate the process of configuration and the one-click thing, can't remember what they're called though.

Check http://freenetproject.org/ out as well, and for a full list of things that do basically what tor does try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darknet_(file_sharing)

In other news, I'm still not allowed to use [url] tags!

Actually, some darknets are a bit different. It really depends.

I'm not too sure what I did, but I got a 20% reproof, a posting ban for 10 hours and can't use [url] or [img] tags anymore. And sk8t_801 doesn't seem to want to respond to my PMs.
