This scares me

[smartkid]

Ok, at my school they dont have bess, they have i think web sence enterprise or something ... anyway iv been using portable firefox for a while (just becuse i like it) even though the IT guy left IEs proxy settings open :P

anyway most of my proxys just stopped working and it was getting to be a pain to find new ones everyday, and since i dident really need them becuse I useially actuially work on my web sites in web design (the class hasent tought me a thing its just an hour i get to work on my forum / site / wiki) for a while i just stopped using proxys altogether.

Well reasently i went to check me gmail account at school and what do ya know its blocked! So i type in

http[b]s[/b]://gmail.com

and bam it comes up, so i sit back and lauth at my ausome smarness and the IT guys dumbness...

The next day

http[b]s[/b]://gmail.com

is blocked so i sigh and google ""anonymous proxy list"" and start going down the list, and what do ya know one isent blocked! http://www.steganos.com/?area=updateproxylist

so i enter in some of the proxys and like the third one works, so again i si back in my chair and lauth at the infearior IT guy, i type in http://gmail.con (while using the proxy) and BOOM the blocker page appears, and i freese.

HOW? how did it know? I thought once you where in a proxy everything you did was masked by the proxy?!?! WTF is going on?

so i closed and continued on without checking my mail, but all my efforts from then on have failed at bypasing the filter. And im not asking how can i be cool and bypass the filter, i just want to know how did it know what site i was going to through the proxy?

So I came here, becuse im sure someone can answer my question,

thanx,

they prob blocked the proxy

[smartkid]

no, i could get to sites like goole and other unblocked sites, but the blocked site was still well blocked. Even through the proxy

They are watching you, it happened to me once.

[smartkid]

Yes I know there watching me, they watched me at my old school to, but i think I know hows there doing it. I think they are forcing me through there blocker as if it was a proxy then through the actuiall proxy and somehow can actuially tell what im trying to go to.

[Jason425]

them watching you is like cops watching you... it probably won't end up good.

[vicki2]

Seems like they've got you ...time for a big reassessment!

[Jason425]

RUN! :P

[smartkid]

let them do whatever they want, its not aginst the rules to go to boards like this unless they block it. Its not illeagle to use proxys, and its not my fault i can get to my email using this: https://mail.google.com/mail

[Jason425]

Nice link! I never thought of that... oh well, too bad I rarely use gmail and it's not blocked at my school......... :/
