So here at school we have a freaken annoying Firewall system setup by our computer help desk.
I've been able to find ways around it but i'm not sure one this one.

How would I go about unblocking a server (PWO) so that i can use it to play Pokemon World Online?

help is much appreciated!!

You know I don't advise doing that...I personally think you should keep up on the rules of your school too. That might be a better idea.

i know it would be the better idea, but it's gotten quite stupid recently. it's a christian school - they block alot of stuff....

Your school tracks and records everything you do.
If they want to they can look back.
Plus it probably blocks files from transfering(downloading.)

There's really no way around that, at least from what I know.

Er, why are you playing at school? Since PWO isn't a browser game that's probably not the best idea, lol.

Regardless, if you really want to go around a school firewall you're going to have trouble without having the tech guy's info. To be perfectly honest most school networks are set up to detect errors etc., and some even have remote monitor systems. At least, the five high schools I've had classes in and one elementary school all did. They employed two guys to remotely pan through each computer every day, and they had control hijack powers. Sort of like RealVNC, but specifically designed for schools.

Really I wouldn't suggest it for just that reason, but there are multiple websites out there dedicated to helping people with this. Have you tried google or yahoo or etc.?

Getting past a school firewall and downloading the client is a sure way to get your school computer access restricted.
To my knowledge most school systems do not allow downloads at all and if they do and you really wanna risk it search for online proxies.

Could ask them to unblock ports 800/801.

Oh I know all about the shocking school firewall system, I go to a Christian school and they've got 1 on it, you're not even allowed to run executable files off an external hard drive, or access a computer's C Drive. :/
Luckily we do find loopholes around their system so we can still play games while they're not looking... :3

But umm... For your case, probably not the best idea, but if you want, try using proxies on the Internet if they're not already blocked by your school's firewall to connect.
Other than that... I dunno. 'Persuade' a tech guy at your school to help? Seduction would help seeing as I doubt they're getting any. ;P
