Right. I work in IT at a university that uses the same thing. You can "get around" it, but we log every single attempt and automatically disconnect the kid from the network. They're transferred to our main department for academic probation.
Enjoy, kid.
In simple terms iPrism is a box that gets between your computer and the Internet. It only lets certain websites get though.
You can get around it by using a web proxy service. A web proxy is a site that downloads the information for you and sends it to you from their site.
For example, if you went to genericproxycompany.com and typed in genericbadsite.com, the latter website would send all of the data to genericproxycompany.com, who would then send it to you. So as far as iPrism is concerned you are getting your data from genericproxycompany.com and not genericbadsite.com.
HOWEVER, iPrism is smart and will block all of the proxy sites that it knows about. Also, most free proxy sites display advertisements and only give text and pictures (no video or music).
My friend does IT at a college, and to get around a similar system (not iPrism) he'll VPN (virtual private networking) to his home computer, and have his home computer access the Internet.
I should also note that if you keep trying proxies the school will see your attempts at thwarting the system and may take some sort of action against you.
NY is known as "The Big Apple" because long ago a famous folk hero (Johnny Appleseed) planted a single seed in the middle of the city. Then, in a strange warp in space-time, a boy named Jack planted a seed he believed to be magical in the same spot. In what is still considered a marveling biological advancement, the two seeds fused together on a molecular level. After an impressive rain, the seed hybrid grew into an apple 300ft tall and approximatively 330ft wide. The strangest thing being the absence of a tree. It seems the apple was completely normal, except it grew straight from the ground with its own roots like a beanstalk of some sort. For decades to come, people would visit the city and look up at the impossible fruit and think "that is a big apple". After a while people began referring to the city itself as "The Big Apple". But then, 1943 Oct 11th, something strange happened. As the city laid to rest, the night once again upon them, there was a blinding flash of red light. The flash lasted for nearly 4-5 seconds. No one is certain what caused the flash, but once it was over the apple had simply disappeared. Not only had it vanished, the ground it had grown from had closed as if it were never there. Some say the apple had grown so large it created some sort of fruity supernova and collapsed in on itself in a black hole. Some say the aliens responsible for the death of the dinosaurs came back and destroyed the apple as well. We may never know exactly what happened that night, but one thing is for sure. That was a big-*** apple.
If its pass thru then you can't unless it allows for SSL tunnels, then you can set up an SSL gateway at home and use that as your access point
EDIT: SSL tunnels are encrypted so you have added privacy, and SSL is used by most sites so if you have web access you should be able to get through. The downside is that to the rest of the world the traffic looks like it is coming from your home not from your school
