      Tips

      • If you're using a computer at a location that provides the DNS, IT admins can filter and log whatever they like. This is the most common corporate (and government) arrangement.
      • None of this works if the site was blocked from the router or gateway that makes the connection.
      • Savvy administrators and parents use a password to prevent users from making the changes described in this article.

      Warnings

      • Administrators can restrict access to the "Security" tab.
      • Efforts to remove restrictions and access blocked sites may be logged. Some school systems view this as vandalism and you could be suspended, expelled or arrested for your actions.
      • Just because you gain access to a restricted site does not mean you are in the clear. If the admins block and log Internet activity, they might log every bit and byte you send and receive and then punish you for circumventing their shabby security.
