How to get through school netbook security?

I have a school netbook that blocks sites like Facebook, Tumblr, Youtube, Imgur/most images and all that. But get this, it's blocked even when I use it at home. I've tried everything I can think of - every proxy site is blocked, can't download a thing, I've tried getting Chrome addons (pretty much the only thing I can download...) proxy switchers but as soon as I put in one, the school somehow recognises it and blocks the site.

Since my main computer is all the way at the other side of the house, I really can't be bothered walking to and fro. My guy friend however, evades this somehow. I've tried getting it out of him but he just says he uses a 'specific proxy'.

So I turn to RG. How am I supposed to get around the school's stupid and unreasonable security?

Reward for the person who tells me what to do and it actually works ._.

Doesn't work.

If you do that, it will only "fix" it in your house.
But if you go back to school again and try to acess the websites, the cookies will add again and you'll need to delete them again in your house, but as long as you are in your school, you won't be able to bypass it unless you connect to another network.

@Storm - 99.9% sure I can't do that on the netbook.
@SD8Z - I'm not at school, I'm at home. I cleared everything, clicked on a blocked site and it was still blocked.

Me neither. But I also had the same problem. I didn't know what to do and I asked a friend and he told me to all cookies and cache.

@SeaCucumber, if you are using Firefox delete cookies and cache from "all time", and if you are using Google Chrome, make sure you delete them from "the origin of time" (or something like that).

If doesn't works, try using Ccleaner or whatever the name is.

I use Chrome and I did what you said, cleared from the 'beginnings of time' but there's no change.

Iirc CCleaner requires downloading, which I can't do on this damn netbook -.-

There are no options other than finding a working proxy. If http://bshades.eu is unblocked buy a VPN from there. It is webbased activation.

Look to see if there is any software that would ban you from websites.
Check to see running processes too and end anything you can't find a reason to run it.. Obviously keep things like explorer.exe and svchost.exe running, find what's stopping you..

Also, when you visit a blocked site does a webpage open up saying It's blocked by 'x' company?

It just says 'access denied' and it's blocked by 'bluebox security' or something like that.

My school gives us Laptops to bring home as well...They block porn and games, Me being the hacker I am figured out that because the laptops have a touch pad to turn the volume up/down or turn the Wireless off.

They use Novell to login to Windows, On Campus (Do this at school) I can turn my wireless off while logging in, and thus - the Security cannot reach the internet to put itself on the computer.

Making it so I can turn my proxy off, and surf all the porn in the world.

Boot into another OS from a USB.

Mini-XP and most Linux distributions should do fine, leaves ZERO history of your actions and no changes to the laptop.

Google "unetbootin"

A few methods:
1: paperpork.com
2: RockMeIT (a browser that has a facebook sidebar to use during school) Only for facebook though if you can download things.
3: If you wanna play games or something. Download the game on your computer. Copy the game files onto USB (Should be in program files) Not the shortcut. Create a shortcut on desktop %appdata% Then place those game files in local and it should run.
4: Majority of the netbooks should allow powershell, just like CMD.
So go into powershell and type this in:

net user /add useraccountname mypassword

net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add


Good luck.
