2. Don't let the local network censorware get you down.
With a few simple steps you can bypass the local web
filters and see sites from work like hotmail and myspace.
3. With the increasing number of companies now using some
kind of censorware in the workplace more and more
people are blocked from selected websites, you donot
need to be one of them. Many people have valid reasons
to visit such site even form work on occasion. Getting
access approval from the IT department can be a slow
process and may take so long that the information is no
longer timely.

5. A bypass website is a web-based page that takes a site
that is blocked locally and "bypasses" restrictions on
visiting specific sites by local network filters by displaying
blocked pages on an unblocked website, enabling you to
view the blocked websites. CGI proxy servers allow
bypassing filters not only for sites like myspace and
hotmail but can also be abused for viewing adult sites.
Once you have bypassed the local web filter its like having
a completely unrestricted web access.
6. The most common use of cgi proxy scripts is in workplaces
and schools. These institutions install on the main
network servers filters that block access to sites bvased on
the sites URL containing keywords on a list such as
hotmail, myspace, porn, sex, etc..... Many blocking
programs block not only selected websites but also known
bypass proxy sites because they are trying to block the
loophole in their filters. That means that every now and
then you need to find new bypass proxy sites. The best
way to locate fresh CGI proxy sites is to search using
google or yahoo, if your network administration is very
active in blocking sites with cgi proxy scripts you may need
to subscribe to one of the e-mail update services that send
out notices every time they learn about a new bypass site.
7. When you have a located an accessible bypass website all
you will need to do to surf the web is enter the URL of the
site you want to visit. Options are available to block
cookies and java scripts. In order to get the full function of
the sites you are visiting normally you will need to check
these items. Other benefits include that the site you are
visiting will not be able to see exactly were you are
connecting form because the cgi proxy script protects that
information.
8. The use of CGI proxy servers is usually safe however care
should be given about entering sensitive information such
as credit card numbers,additionally passwords should
regularly for increased security.
