In high school my friends and I worked on a proxy, that using a custom build of portable FireFox on USB drives, that would connect through Germany to get us unfiltered internet. There were about a half dozen of us with the required files, settings, and knowledge to use it in the school. We were able to go 6 months before anything came up from administration, it was during a school wide assembly that it was reported that "some students were by-passing the schools firewall, and a reminder that this was against the rules." This didn't stop us. We took the knowledge that the school was looking as a bit of a challenge. Over the next couple of months we did some more work on our "product" and changed the routing to first hit the school network, check to see if it was blocked, then continue on via a proxy that we had running at one of our homes if needed. We went 2 more years without ever hearing anything from the administration about the firewall. I say good on the author for standing up against the schools asinine blocking policies.
