I dont know like sometimes when i want to access youtube or runescape or Scar, it returns me:http://10.10.0.39:15871/cgi-bin/blockpage.cgi?ws-session=1913156227

And it blocks the page….so a friend told me if I can stop it from redirecting. I am using my schools laptop btw and they do have websense.

Im sorry if its in wrong place.

I doubt its a redirection you are encountering. Its the websense software that your school is using. It is configured to automatically re-direct you to the "Blocked Page" if you visit one of these "blacklisted" sites.

Hmm…yea maybe but because it loads runescape then it changes to that..

You could, in theory, hack your school with C++ based hacks. But they'd most likely send you to jail for messing with the man.

Well i know this may be going in an opposite direction. I would advice you not to use cgi/bin based web proxies… Use PHP based ones… There are lots of them!. but roger was right :
It is configured to automatically re-direct you to the "Blocked Page" if you visit one of these "blacklisted" sites.


But one question… even if you browse through a PHP or CGI proxy, wouldn't the address be encrypted for anonymity? So how would the websense software know which page to block…
