I setup a computer running an apache in my room, put CGI Proxy on it. saved it as a file called nph-webmail.cgi rather than nph-proxy.cgi, and ran it under SSL, and password protected it.
then I made some money on it and sold access to it to other students, but I didn't make as much money as I wanted because i never developed a better way of enforcing usage (such as bandwidth monitoring and charging by the kilobyte.
For a couple years my schools network admin never filtered proxy servers (he is a fucking moron) and everyone proxys, then one day I was in class, and some kids were on myspace through a filter, and the moron IT guy came in and said "how did you get on myspace?" this stoner kid says "ohhhhhh dude, i used a proxy server" and then by the end of the day almost all proxy servers were blocked and thats why I made my own.
and don't get me wrong, i didn't do it just so i could go to myspace, the damn websense filter catagorization was so vague that I couldn't even get my work done, so it needed to be done.
depending on how the filter is setup there is a way to do it by modifying the arp cache by setting the gateway's IP to it's true MAC address, because some filters use ARP Cache Poisoning for filtering.[/url]
