blocked websites at school
Paul:
My MOE graciously blocks Mediafire which is oh, yeah wonderful on those occasions when you wish to hit up the latest version of an actively maintained resource.
Mark: Big thankyou for introducing me to Diglet. I've tried other redirection services but haven't got them to even access Mediafire's homepage. I'm feeling lucky now!
Halcyon:
True, TOR is slower but it is free. If you're only trying to access news sites or other largely text-based sites such as craigslist while at school then I definitely wouldn't recommend paying for any service. If you spend a lot of time online at school and/or need access to these sites at school on a consistent basis then a VPN service probably is your best option.
As far as downloading Skype, here's the softpedia.com link:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Fax-Telephony/Skype.shtml
If that doesn't work then just do a web search and you should be able to find at least one site you can download it from.
Canucktim:
globe and mail is blocked! also all downloading sites, isohunt used to be but not anymore, weird
siracha:
If you need to get on craigslist, don't type "craigslist.org" or "craigslist.com."
Type: The location first: XXXX.craigslist.org.
Example: vietnam.craigslist.org.
For London, England: london.craigslist.co.uk
For South Korea: seoul.craigslist.co.kr
From that homepage, you are are free to go to any other craigslist locations.
This has worked for me.

Sigh. My school's blocked hidemyass, diglet, and just about every other proxy server I've tried.
