    Find similar sites that aren't blocked. Some sites are miscategorized and are let through using their site applet, Do not use this to find proxies as they will be very quickly blocked if they aren't already.

    (Mac, Safari only) If you google something you want and find it but it is blocked. Go back to the link on google and turn your airport of and click on the link and turn airport back on. Then refresh repeatedly. Every time the loading sign disappears refresh until the page is loaded. It only takes a second. But you have to put Airport on the bar on the top of the screen. This always works for me. And if it doesn't work then it may take 1 or 2 more attempts.

    (Mac - Without Router Backups) Go to /usr/local/bin and remove the Light speed things there. Then go to /tmp/ls and remove "LsGuide" there as well. That will clear up the problem.

EditTips

  • Use your brain. Things that do not make sense will probably not work.
  • The blocking system is located in either C:/Windows or C:/System. Or if on a Mac: inside the hidden folders, /Library, and /System/Library (there should be some frameworks which allow it to run as well)
  • Google Cache along with Yahoo, Bing, Ask.com, Lycos, Search.com, and many others have been blocked under "security".
  • They can monitor your internet usage using Light speed Rocket - and the start and destination IP addresses

EditWarnings

  • Realize you may be breaking your schools AUP (acceptable use policy) and you could get in to trouble for using this information.
  • In the end Lightspeed is very good at blocking everything fun on the internet, even good old wikiHow. We can't fight it without knowledge.
  • Lightspeed however, cannot control your computer if you have physical access, so if you are using Windows, Unix, Mac, Linux or etc. learn how to use a command-line, to change the application and remove it all together.
