Do you wish you could visit MODSonline from your school or office but can't because of blocking? General
Posted on Fri. Nov. 16, 2007

Some schools and even some businesses will block certain sites due to material. For example, many schools block MODSonline.com because it's a gaming site. Being a gaming site, how could it be educational?

Are you in this situtation? Maybe we can figure out a way around this problem. If you are being blocked, vote in the poll and comment about where and how you think it's being done.

Stupid School Filter!  Fri. Nov. 16, 2007
My school has some stupid filter. I can easily make a proxy from my IP like I did before and share it to everyone. Then we are all happy :)

we have like 32 laptops in our media center. I hardly ever get to them. either way, I'm in a private school =( in which students are few and teachers stare at my screen 24/7. We can't even go to google images because it's too 'graphic'.

I'm not blocked at college so it's not a problem. Although I only really log in when I have the time. I'm normally busy with something.

If I am on the tills at work I usually log in. Monday evenings are so slow and quiet. Nobody suspects a thing. [jumping]

My school doesn't block it, My school only uses the government filters which is myspace, porn, proxy webs, Most game sites work and a lot of others work. They also blocked google images but me and my friend soon found a way through by just removing images. at the front, The government can be morons sometimes...

Hardware firewall  Sat. Nov. 17, 2007
I know my office uses a hardware firewall now. It blocks based on website category - and games / gaming is blocked.

i have also noticed that some poorly categorized sites are blocked - for instance some construction sites have incorrectly categorized themselves as real estate...which apparently is blocked by the firewall.

if you were to categorize it as educational - then i know it would allow it - but i am unsure about what the possible repercussions of incorrectly categorizing or dropping into a grey area would be. it may do more harm than good

I usually have a substantial amount of time in my Programing class to web browse, and play around with programs. I get mad that I cant check out my favorite site at school, because the filters block it for gaming related.

I used to write my mp map GSCs in class, when I was done with work, but once I needed help, I would have to wait until I got home to ask questions on modsonline. Ironic that I do more programming at home, on CoD than in my Programing class.

REAMOVE YOUR FILTERS!!!!  Wed. Nov. 28, 2007
Hey guys, go to schoolislame.com. From what I hear, as soon as the page opens the filter is immediately turned off! My neghbors and I were screwing around on youtube and stuff when we just typed it in and saw what came up.

no problems here =)  Mon. Dec. 3, 2007
School blocks modsonline here, but it's not school itself; just a council thing. A friend of mine has a proxy we can use. I've usually finished work before the end so I come on here for a while [lol]

oyg  Sat. Jan. 5, 2008
yea back at my other school they blocked it. i was the ONLY one in the school that even knew of the website. i used this website to help get a 100% on a huge report that had to do with anything i wanted, and i picked it on the false behavior of JT. Soon after my 100% they blocked the site saying "its uneducational". sry bud, but making virtual poo-poo my life, its my hobby, it will be my job. how is it uneducational?

I'm pretty much in the same boat as StrYdeR. Can't view the site until after work.

Cheers
