I went on the computers at our school for the first time today. My homepage on Firefox is start.portableapps.com. The page came up as blocked due to freeware and software download. I went to the homepage of PortableApps, and guess what? Blocked (As I assumed it would be). I am probably one of the only people at my school who goes on the website, and I got it blocked. Kinda funny how much people will go through to stop you from doing stuff. It's not like this site is going to do anything to us at all... grrrr.

Oh noes!!!
Run to the mountains!!!
I'm sure it wasn't you who got it blocked. You probably have Websense or something similar, and they just block anything in a 'category'. Someone from the company stuck PApps in the 'software and freeware' category. My work does it too. I'm guessing since FF got blocked that your school's not running a proxy and is filtering everything.
In that case, search for Portable Tor on this site and give that a shot.
I've tried quite a bit to get Tor to work, but it just doesn't.
I believe Ryan got it blocked at his school as well. Am I right, Ryan?
I've come close, but I befriended the network administrator.

There are 10 kind of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those with friends.
Correct, but they have refined their filters so I can access it now, not as though I actually do though

So all that Airbus-delay trouble over here in Europe is because of YOU!

I remember that post from a long time ago. It's in the "I'm addicted to PortableApps" section of something like that.
I think.
