If geffy is at uni the chances are he will be connected to JAnet (http://www.ja.net/) via optical lines, JAnet is basically a HUGE backbone (with insane data transfer rates ) that provides many schools and businesses with the internet, so using it at around 4am is your best bet, when most students are asleep
It still doesnt compare to Internet2 though.

 

[Geffy]

yep, I am part of the ja.net backbone wont be next year though, moving into own house, might get ADSL though

but too many people there, so to get to outside world it can drop down a fair bit

 

[Henyman]

not quite sure who provides the service here.....jus that we have a dedicated line (no one else gets a share of it) ,network is suplied by Rm though:huh:

Nothing Filtered here

 

[SPeedY_B]

Geffy
Nothing Filtered here

Your uni has more sense than to use crappy RM software and filterering, in fact, most people do, RM really is useless.

I remember at our high-school, when you went to anything filtered, profain domain names/known sites etc, all you received was a text page "Access to this site is not permitted" or something equal to that. The work around? hit F5/refresh, voilla, site. Good work there RM!

 

[Geffy]

at my school they used WebSense to keep people out of sites and block some IPs from net access.

But the allow set was all in one IP range so you change your PCs IP to one in the allowed Range and bingo you had access, but still filtered, they also stopped you from access after 23:00 and before 7:30 am

 

[Henyman]

Rm is crap:huh: there filtering is sh!t and sucks donkey balls

i dont think f5 works.......... though using the i.p of a site is a good work around as only the title is filtered

 

[SPeedY_B]

Henyman
using the i.p of a site is a good work around as only the title is filtered

heh, always a good'un
One of our college lecturers actually told us to do that once, which obviously opened the doors for the lesson to be used to sit idling on any site we wished

Oh, and they never filtered IRC either, and my mirc.exe.bmp was never deleted from my user area
msnmsg.exe was tho.

 

[Henyman]

i have set up me own jirc client fully customized 2 how i want it so i can use it @ skool but the ports are still filtered:huh: i uploaded cgi:irc there now as well cus i know it works (demo on site lets me conect jus fine but it uses wrong servers) but i got a few probs with it cus i cant get it 2 work

 

[Henyman]

Cgi:Irc
Jirc

 

[SPeedY_B]

jirc runs locally! its a common misconception that jirc (or any other java irc client) will allow you to bypass filters, it'll download the components to a local folder and run the "app" from the computer you are sat on.

As for CGI:IRC, its easy to setup, even I did it once! then I got told of by Mike (server owner), not many people like you being on IRC (script kiddiot heaven) with their IP, plus it's quite a resource hog.

 

[Geffy]

I read somewhere of someone tryin to create a php IRC client, I am not sure how far they got though.
I have doubts about it though

 

[XP Abuser]

i bet you could run a killer FTP on it

 

[Henyman]

dam it so why wont my CGI:IRC work? i no that a lot of servers dont like it hosted on there servers............so i wont tell them it's only 4 personal use anyhow:happy:
