How to bypass firewall at office/school

Its a norm for every offices or educational institution to block some website and program which runs with internet connection. Most of them place firewall at their server (this is my own understanding, correct me if I'm wrong). They usually block sites which allow video or music streaming, or program that supports peer-to-peer connection, such as torrents.

Of course they have reason for this!! It is for protection for those who doesn't know how to use the net wisely and surfing for p*rn website. Well, its not that just wrong to view the p*rn website, some of this site also work as a medium of a virus writer to spread their lovely virus, mainly for fun and for laughing out loud those who get infected..hahaha (even i'll join them laughing if you get virus infected in your pc/laptop like that)

Another reason also is to so that the bandwidth is enough for all internet user in the network. Imagine there's 8 person like me downloading stuff continous all the time, the bandwidth is reached and all other user which is using net for good (yah rite~) :p will not be able to continue surfing the net..hehehe

BUT ANYWAY, here I want to share this wonderful program to bypass the firewall used in your office, school, college or whatever!!

HERE's a link for advanced to configure their proxy or whatever since I'm just a normal computer user and not very Hi-Tech internet user --> HERE

For normal user, like me, here is another simple way to bypass the firewall,The one I use currently is FreeGate (yah..no spaces) and http-tunnel. Mainly its freegate since its way faster than http-tunnel. Tunneling is slow, unless you cant work it out using freegate than you can try on http-tunnel :)

Below is the link for these 2 wonderfull software:

Freegate
Http-tunnel

For beginner, I'll only give instruction for freegate. Its not that hard actually. After you've download the software, it doesnt have to be installed since freegate is standalone software. So you just need to click it open and run. Once freegate is running, it will try to find the server available, you dont have to choose because by default it will be set to the most fastest server found. If it is slow, you can just hit the search again button.

To use it, open your internet browser, go to connection setting and choose http proxy. Just set the proxy and port just as shown in the tunnel into the appropriate form.

The same process have to be repeated for your internet download manager or any other software you use which needed to bypass something which is block by the firewall. This includes p2p software, yahoo messenger, mirc, etc2...but at the moment I cant connect for torrent using freegate. Http-tunnel is more efficient for torrent and mirc.

With this HOPEFULLY you won't have problem surfing your favourite site and can just ignore all the blocks when you surf the net..hehehe. And don't use this for something stupid like p*rn...there's much more better thing out there to be look at..such as AKB48 and Morning Musume...and football highlights!! Hehehe :p
