If you plan to use a free web proxy, be careful. If your school's computers dislike you installing programs on them, using a proxy in a browser will easily skirt around this restriction. The best part is, you don't need to use or install special software to use one. Instead, it'll only see your proxy server's details, which just so happens to be sending you data from the Minecraft website!
However, if you access the website via a proxy server, the firewall won't see that the traffic is from the Minecraft website.
As such, when you go to play it, the firewall spots that you're visiting the Minecraft website and stops you. It then shows you everything on the game's website, while your school firewall only sees the proxy's URL.įor example, if you wanted to play Minecraft for free on your browser, your school may have already blocked the domain. A web proxy server circumvents this because you're not visiting the game's website you're going to the proxy's page and telling it to go to the page instead. If your institution blocks a game's website, it'll likely look for you typing the URL into the address bar. These servers are handy when you're trying to circumvent a firewall because the proxy handles all the surfing for you. With regard to "tricking the ISP's firewall," there's no trickery involved - many proxy servers are accessible through TCP port 80 (or sometimes also 443) which ISPs normally don't block at all since TCP ports 80 and 443 are required to access web sites if an ISP blocked these ports, then their customers would be calling them with "my internet isn't working" technical support questions.Proxy sites are services that handle your requests for you. If they're using a proxy server that's only accessible over the internet, then they MUST first get access to the internet before they can use it. My guess about what your friends are doing is that they're most likely getting access to the internet through unsecured wireless access points (or they somehow hacked into them, such as by guessing passwords).
In order to use any proxy server to access the internet, you must first have access to that proxy server, which normally entails having access to the internet (unless you have some direct local connection to it network, but I assume this is not the case for you).
