Alright, first of all:
You don't actually install the Circumventor on the computer that is blocked from accessing Web sites. You, or a friend of yours, has to install the Circumventor on some other machine which is not censored.
For example, if you want to get around Web blocking at work, don't install the Circumventor on your work computer. Install the Circumventor on your home computer. When the installer is done, it will give you the URL for your new Circumventor, and then you write that URL down and take it in with you to work, where you can use that URL to bypass the Web blocking there. Similarly, if you're in China and blocked from accessing certain sites, don't install the Circumventor on a machine in China; instead, get a friend to install it outside China, and then they can send you the URL that you can use to access banned sites.
Now on that note, let's begin.
The computer where you install the Circumventor must have a fast Internet connection (dial-up WON'T work!), and it also must be running either Windows XP or Windows 2000. Also, once you install the Circumventor on your computer, it will only work as long as you have your computer turned on and connected to the Internet! So you should only install it on machines that are online more or less all the time!
Also, another note:
By installing this software, you will be joining an interconnected Web of Circumventor machines, so just as you can surf the Web via other people's machines (at sites like StupidCensorship.com), at times other users will be surfing the Web through your machine. However, they will not have access to any files or programs on your machine.
To install:
1. Download ActivePerl from this link and install it. It must be installed to C:\Perl (this should be the default). Accept all of the default options.
2. Download OpenSA 2.0.2 beta from this link (FireFox users – please right-click and pick "Save Link As") and install it. Accept all of the default options. (If you get to a screen titled "Server Information" and it doesn't have values filled in for "Network Domain", "Server Name" and "Administrator's Email Address", just fill in these boxes with made-up random values – the Circumventor doesn't use them.)
3. Download the circumventor-setup.exe program from this link and pick "Save" – then once you have saved it on your computer, run the circumventor-setup.exe file that you saved.
If the circumventor-setup.exe program succeeds, it will display an "It's ready!" page at the end of the install. If it fails, it will create a file circumventor-setup-log.txt – send that file to [email]bennett@peacefire.org[/email] and we will try to figure out what went wrong.
Another note:
You will have to restart your computer during the installation. For some strange reason, when I restarted, the files circumventor-setup.exe unzipped disappeared. If that happens to you, to resume, re-unzip the circumventor-setup.exe file and let it go from there. Otherwise, just re-open setup.bat.
And there you go! You can now surf at school without it blocking any of the sites!
