Plenty of web-filters block off the well-known social networking website, MySpace. It comes as a terrible surprise to those who are stuck in the office, or at school. Note that your boss/principal is likely using a web-filter for a reason and it may not be the best idea to attempt to access MySpace (or any other websites that have been blocked off from the web-filter, for that matter) without offering any form of notification.
System Requirements
Instructions
- Find a Proxy: A proxy is a form of anonymity (as a more technical description, a website that is able to hide your IP Address by using the proxy servers). Using a proxy is the easiest method to access websites that have been blocked by your work-place/school’s filter without having administrative access to the web-filter. One proxy designed specifically for MySpace is A MySpace Proxy. The simplest way to find more proxies is to use a proxy list such as Tech FAQ’s Proxy List. The generated list at Tech FAQ is displayed in the order of which the proxies were created. As soon as you have found a proxy site that has not been blocked off by your work-place/school’s filter, proceed to the next step.
- Enter the URL to MySpace: Scroll down the page until you see a button displaying “Browse!” (or similar) on the right-hand side of a form. Click on the form and enter “http://www.myspace.com” (without the quotes).
- Enable Scripts: Make sure that the “Disable Scripts” or “Disable JavaScript” checkbox is unchecked.
- Enter MySpace: Click on the button next to the form, which will likely have the text “Browse!” printed on it. Login to MySpace and begin browsing.
