Site blocked for me!; SO SAD!

Well for those dont know, I am a school teacher.
During my lunches at school each day I play on this site and a 360 site. Then I read sites like Kotaku and Joystick and such...

Our county has SO many things in place to keep non educational sites blocked on school computers.
But like this site for example is too small for them to have ever blocked and there is not the word PS2 and Mario and Nintendo all over it so the filter never stops it. I have liked being on this site so much each day at lunch.

I was on from school last week when I went in to set up my classroom. I go in today for a while. BLOCKED! And all of my other sites blocked too. I believe they were watching ME specifically to see where I went and blocked them all... sucks!

So a girl that I taught many years ago just graduated this past year IMed me just now. I told her and she says students used these two proxy sites. I emailed them to my school address so I can try them.
I know I tried a proxy years ago for gamefaqs and it still didnt work. I guess the proxy site was blocked too.

Anyone of you smarty friends out there have any advice for me? I want to keep coming here from school.

Damn, that really sucks. Only advice I can give is find a whole lot of different proxies and make a list.
I wouldn't think the security settings would be the same as students for teachers, pointless if you ask me.

Yea one would think maybe teachers would have more privledges than students (and we do really).
But when it comes to the counties bandwidth it doesnt matter who you are. If it is not for educational purposed they dont want you doing it.
I will still shop online, and check my personal email and whatever else I can! But each year (this is year 10 for me there) it gets harder to read something worthwhile online at school.

SO can I just google different proxies or what?

Yeah, fair enough I supposed. Sucks though.

I guess you'd have to Google, unless anyone else here knows any.
