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
Code:
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
Code:
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,

Okay, I read through all 10 posts and I got one question...at what ponit do you live up to your name "smartkid"...maybe the whole problems started with, "I laughed at the IT guys dumbness"...the minute you think you are the smartest guy around, is the minute you probably aren't...the really smart ones always count of the other guy being up to the task...
