Hi.
I have a trouble named websebse. I cannot see many of websites at school (like kde-look.org). I want using it free. im new at unix systems so i dont know about codes or network configurations or anything… I cannot connect msn on pidgin or kopete. Im searching on tunneling but i dont understand anything. How can i pass througt the websense? Please help.
tch tch… Be lucky if you get too much help here, bypassing stuff like that, is a bit of a grey area.
Now in theory and from an educational point of view, I’d look into bypassing proxies. But I doubt these will help much as I suspect you won’t have/will need additional apps.
In regards to tunneling this is a bit of a ssh thing, and involves your own PC. I also doubt you will be able to get to this either as a solution if the admin has done there job right.
All the help I’m giving 
Google should help you more now.

I don’t see what should be “grey” about that. 
ssh -D 8080 username@yourlinuxbox
(or use putty for that)
and have your portable firefox use 127.0.0.1:8080 as socks server. Done.
If you want some forwarded ALG for HTTP, do the above, but with
-L 3128:remoteproxyhost:repoteproxyport
and have your applications use 127.0.0.1:3128 use as HTTP proxy.
Kind regards,
Andreas Stieger

Now that my friend would depend where in the world you sit, for some not for some more so.
Circumventing would be the key word.
try turning off IPv6 in YaST and Firefox…

Im from turkey.
Andreas; Thank u but i didnt understand how can i use ssh.
I think username@yourlinuxbox is like local@localhost. Then i wrote it like setup. then console give me ok and have fun :D. and then i opened the firefox but it wasnt work. so i tryed some variations on firefoxs proxy settings like socks https … it didnt work…
duo; how can i turn of these?
As it appears this is not set on your PC, but somewhere else on the network, by the administrator, as a restriction your school and he/she think should be there. In fact you are asking us to hack this.
NO WAY !!!
Problems like this should be dealt with at the appropriatie place, i.e. the administrator.

Hack != crack. And exactly when did the GNU/Linux community stop discussing
advanced use of networks?
Exactly what is unethical about circumventing such “restricitons” when the
users are merely “instructed” to use that filter, but you can just ssh out
of the network?
What is better security? The one that looks good and gives everybody peace
of mind, or the one that is actually tested?
Learthes: As with everything, “you need to do it right” ™
If you have an account on a host on the other side of the filter and you can
log into it via ssh, use either TCP (-L) or dynamic (-D) port forwarding
with the ssh client of your choice (openssh, putty). Configure your browser
to use localhost as HTTP or Socks proxy, respectively. If your system
browser proxy configuration is locked down, get the portable version of
firefox. Should an outgoing port be blocked, use an alternative one.
As mentioned, you can also use use a “CGI gateway”, “CGI proxy”, “php
proxy”, or set one up yourself. You would then merely call a website
through another. Using SSL/TLS encryption here is, of course, of some
advantage to prevent snooping and filtering.
If you control your own machine inside the network, other more advanced
methods are mentioned below. I never had a scenario where doing any of
these was worth the time apart for the fun / learning experience.
tunnel via HTTP requests, direct or through proxy, which aren’t filtered
tunnel via UDP packages
tunnel via ICMP packages
tunnel via DNS requests
Kind regards,
Andreas Stieger

In order to bypass, you have to be able access a resource which
can bypass websense. For example, if you can get to
some-host (where some-host is the name or ip of a server) and you
can connect to some-port (where some-port is listening on some-server),
then it’s possible you could proxy or tunnel using some-host.
This usually requires you to have privs on some-host… not sure
I’d trust any wide open thing that’s out there for everyone’s use.
But if you do have privs on some-host, then you can set things
up to allow some-host to be your proxy of sorts to the outside.
Bypassing websense is well and good but if you get caught you could end up getting expelled from school or fired from your job. There’s a reason admins put websense in since they want you to use the internet for work or to study. Not to check cool wallpapers on kde-look or talk to your sweetheart on MSN.
But we can use msn for communication. I dont think msn occupy to banwith. and im in music department and sometimes i need get some scores then i need file sharing because our school is new and we dont have music library yet. And then im at school all day! Whole of day! Im happy with opensuse which on my laptop. but i cannot use for necessery thinks because of websense. I wont download films and anything. Only scores.
ok
cjcox; How can i find a host? Can i find free? Because im student. And i dont need high bandwidth.
No need to be pleading with us that you won’t download movies and things all I am saying is that by bypassing websense you are breaking the school’s rules on using the internet. Doesn’t matter what you do and how careful you will be some schools will expel you for it. That’s all I am saying.
Try using Vidalia https://www.torproject.org/vidalia/ It will use TOR’s proxy network. Also, if you are using Firefox, try installing PhZilla add-on. This add-on works great for me at work (under Windows XP, though). If these options fail, try using a Circumventor like http://www.clutterface.com/
Peace ! 
When I worked in a college I used my mobile phone as a 3G modem, pretty good data rate, and free (with a free O2 “bolt on” for web browsing). Infact the whole reason I went to O2 was for the free unlimited mobile internet (fair use policy applies).
The lengths I’ll goto to read the beeta newsletter
Something to note however, whilst the nice man in the shop helped me choose a phone and package specifically to use my mobile as a modem, it is technically an infringement of the terms and conditions for the unlimited “bolt on”.
