The local community college blocks all sorts of websites with nannyware on the gateway. I tried changing DNS to googles: no change. I tried a few other things as well, no change. Looked for open proxies: "PROXY search prohibited".
What they didnt stop was looking for VPSes. I found one for 20$ a year as well. Loaded up immediately upon payment into a ubuntu 12.04 (rh, slackware, ubuntu, or debian: i dont care). I got a socks proxy running on its localhost, and then ssh tunnelled to the proxy. And there I went.
