I'm at my school network right now, and the firewall blocks .exe files and everything else than normal websurfing.
Does someone got a proxy i could use, that would at least allow me download .exe files?
Thank you.

Google up some "Proxy lists" and see if they aren't banned from the school's firewall yet.
Also, I believe the reason why you can't download .exe's is probably because of the school's security limits on the school computers/student accounts themselves, not the Internet.

There's a firewall blocking exe-files, and I'm using my own personal computer with my own personal account. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Find a website that frequently updates with new proxy lists. Write that proxy down before you go to school. Use a different one every day. I guarantee that you'll be able to find some new ones that aren't blocked.
If your school wordfilters "proxy" like mine does, use an IP:port proxy instead. Google will yield some results on how to use these.

Have an ssh server / proxy running at home. Tunnel your http traffic over ssh to the proxy. It's easy.
ssh -L 3128:localhost:3128 me@home.com

@66,931News flash: He'd need PuTTY on a flash drive assuming the school computers are Windows-based.
Anyways, web-proxies work: lookup "CGI proxy" on Google, or get a proxy from proxy.org. Then, save the file as "lol.png" instead of anything relating to ".exe". If the firewall scans for incoming PE headers and similar, download from a HTTPS/SLL encrypted proxy (i.e.: anything with a "
https://" infront of it will work - or, a CGIProxy with the beta base64 encoding/decoding script).

I remember at my high school, we used to change the port number to get past the school filter. It was called Barracuda or something. I don't exactly understand the intricacies of the Internet or how it works with browsers, but I do remember that we would go into the options, and change the port number from 3000 to 3001 or something. Fool around I guess
