Is there a way to download .zip files from blocked sites? - Off-topic

My school has the Light speed Systems blocking website tool and I would like to know if there is a way to download ROMs or Kernels from media fire or whatever from my School's WiFi ?

Youre going to have to find a proxy site that your school hasnt blocked. Make a list and try some out, cross off any that don't work.

Ahhh I see

or you could persuade the dev to make a mirror at some unknown site
or dropbox. my school doesn't block dropbox because teachers use it too
google drive isn't blocked at most schools too because at my school, lots of people use google docs
Other question: My school's wifi requires you to connect to a proxy to access the internet after connecting to their network
on my home wifi network, I use an app called Orbot(its free don't worry) . its like Tor for the PC, except its for android.
its basically like another transparent proxy that allows me to access any site and download stuff not available in the US
is there anyway I can use orbot, while connected to my school's proxy. because orbot doesn't seem to work for me
it only works at home when im not connected to any proxy

Im not sure if my device has anything to do with matters but i can access any website from my phone on any proxy. It dosnt seem right but its true. Or there are some proxy hiding sites that i use all the time at my school.

Browser that is blocked?

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is an app that is a browser which automatically won't be detected.
Like at my school we aren't able to access sites such as youtube or facebook, is there an app which will automatically bypass those and still work normally?
Thanks!
Try opera browser it bypasses orange safeguard
I might be missing something, but can't you just use 3G instead of the schools wifi?
Or go via a proxy site?
or just use your time at school to learn something (joke)
When I was at university the, finaly, restrict access to certain sites (warez, p0rn and so on) I've just used a http proxy and it worked, but sure 3G will do the trick.

[Q]Connecting WiFi in a school network?

My college has it's own wifi broadcasting throughout the campus. Before you can access the web though you are prompted (usually) to sign in when you first open the browser.
It seems the Android browser won't go to that page resulting me in a no network connection when I go on my browser..
Is there anyway I can get around that?
Could you use a computer's browser to find the url of the page and enter it into the android browser? Aside from that, I think that the only other way would be to sign in on another device and then clone its mac address.

lol I actually tried that! it didn't load .. worked for my laptop before though..which made me sad when it didn't work.
I'm home now so I'll try installing Dolphin to try and see if Dolphin will pick up the login screen :x
Did you try using other browsers like dolphin and opera. I know that when I'm at a hotel or a mall i have to put in any address first(like google.com) and then i get redirected to the said page.
If I were you I would try to contact the IT department. I'm sure they could fix it within a day or two considering its a college and that android is such an ez platform to develop in
yea.. i wasn't able to download Dolphin at school because my primary building has some AWFUL reception. lol I'll try again tomorrow.

I connect to hotel wifi all the time, where they also redirect you to a login page before you can go anywhere else. But, the redirection happens automatically when you open the browser and try to go to any site. And, I am using the stock browser.
There may be an alternate way to set up your connection... Does your school provide any instructions on connecting to the wireless via linux? (because i used those instructions to connect to my uni wireless).

Vpn streaming?

Ok so I wasn't sure if this goes in general, qa, or dev, but I figured this would be the most likely spot for an answer.
I have a home server set up & will shortly have a VPN running. Now my main question is this: I know the phone has the ability to connect to the vpn, but is there a way to stream music/movies to the phone? I having to hand pick each song I want to put on, so being able to access my collection remotely would be very nice.
Thanks!

This has nothing to do with development.
You didn't mention what OS you are running at home so all we can do is guess.
But FTP, Samba, DLNA - depends if you want to copy of stream and how much battery you want to suck down. Since you have a DLNA client - that would probably be the way to go if you want to stream music. or you could get a 32GB card and carry a lot with you.
If my first post didn't make me seem like a complete fool this one should make up for it. As far as I'm aware allshare only works via wifi, my goal is to stream via 3g. Using wifi tether on my captivate & setting up vpn allows me to stream to my ipad, but my goal is to stream over 3g to my phone.

When I say this I may be wrong and come off as stupid as you think you seem, but I can't imagine how that could be possible... And unless you have unlimited data (they didn't grandfather mine), that would sure eat up your 2gb pretty fast.
Really, I can see how it's possible, but not how it's easily done. Access web server from phone; apache maybe?
streaming to phone solution
Easiest solution so far is orb.com, but I personally would prefer a solution that worked on my LAN and just allowed use of samba services instead of using an outside service. Coreplayer was great on windows mobile.
Yea, I would love to do the same thing. I have over 100GB of music on my home server and have unlimited data. I hate having to pick out the music to put on my phone only to inevitably want to listen to something I didn't happen to pick.
I think it would be possible but I don't know if there are any applications that would allow you to do it.
Subsonic
Nice! Subsonic looks great. And it runs on multiple systems since I don't run Windows for my server.
Thanks AJerman

[Q] how to by-pass office restriction to facebook site

I want to know how access the facebook site from our office. the management block it. its really important to me. thanks
The best way would be to use a web browser on a USB stick, like Portable Firefox.
You'd need to run a proxy from some other location, like your home internet connection, and set the proxy options in that browser. With this, the traffic will be going between the two machines, and only going to Facebook after it's out of the office network.
If you're super-paranoid, you might want to use SSH tunneling to port 8080 on your home machine (so it looks like just web traffic), and run remote access through that tunnel to a machine at home, with Facebook pulled up on the web browser there.
DONT USE A PROXY!
they are managed by random people, entering account details, is risky because they can get them any time!

Why the fxxk people can't just do the work they are being paid for is beyond me. One of my colleagues spends half his working day on Facebook while I work my bits off for the company - can you guess that it pi$$es me off?
Speak to your management and ask permission to access Facebook.

Create a http proxy for ios?

Hey guys, so I get my raspberry pi today, and one big thing I can't find is a way to use the raspberry pi to make a http proxy compatible with ios to avoid people trying a man in middle on public wifi, and get around firewalls/restrictions. My ipad gives me the option for a server, a port, and authentication on/Off after you go to setting>wifi>network name info>http proxy set to ON. I want to create my own proxy for us on the IPad, but don't want to use a full VPN (another area of settings). The main reason is it is a school ipad with MDM profiles on it where a VPN will get me in trouble, but there is no rule against a http proxy. So if anyone knows a way to do that, that would be awesome. I am going to create a full VPN server for use with my laptop, android phone, and android tablet, but can't use it for the school ipad. Anyone help would be useful. Any chance this would work with openvpn? It seems more simple and compatible than a hamachi setup.
Out of curiosity how do they track you? Can you leave school with it? If they are watching your traffic you can always use say ssh or SSL over VPN to mask the traffic. You should check out the app fiddler for your pc and use it to see what's going on in the background of that iPad as I'm assuming you obviously would be in deep trouble if you jail broke it. ☺

Yes, I can take it home. I'm sitting in my bed messaging you on it atm. Also I can't jailbreak it because the profiles on it won't allow me to connect to a PC. They have the mobile device management profiles on it so they can track all of my apps, wifi connection, os version, view some settings, secure their wifi password through it (fiber optics hitting up to 50 mb/s), and they have IP address filtering. I can upload it, but I got an email saying to stop playing a game and sent me a picture with my ipad name, the app name, and the IP address it was accessing. I believe with the proxy since it's under settings, and I can set the IP as a static IP to what I want at home for the pi, they won't be able to figure it out and think it a website or weird app connection, and can't tell what it is exactly. They already caught a ton of people downloading the open door app that is basically a web browser and proxy app wrapped together. I just want to use the fast speeds and not have my games and some of my blogs blocked, but not have to leave my phone in my backpack attached to my 22,000 MaH external battery to tether all day and not kill my phone. Especially with my smartwatch and bluetoothheadphones battery life is very precious.
