OP, there is a thing called telling the Teacher.
My School has WatchDog. Great, a fucking dog that stalks what we're going on. Sounds very family-friendly. Oh well, the only sites that are blocked are gaming and porn I guess. I don't know because I don't go on it. But the plus is that Escapist isn't blocked. Oh yeah!

Ah school internet filters...brings back the memories it does 
Being the IT high school in my district we were constantly getting letters from the school board telling our teachers that we were still circumventing their system. They knew we were doing it and they couldn't do a damned thing about it.
Yeah we started off with proxies but they nipped that in the bud real quick. Those of us that actually understood what we were doing started setting up our PC's at home so we could connect to them from school and simply run web browsers from there. Technically same thing as a proxy site, but they were never able to block us. Our comp science teachers were always telling us to stop doing it so the school board would stop breathing down their neck. Problem was they were doing it too and knew if they actually punished us we'd rat them out(considering they're the ones who showed us how to circumvent it XD ).
Ah good times...good times..

Well in Australia, or at least in NSW, if you have a TAFE account, then 90% of sites aren't blocked. If you have friends doing a TAFE course, then you can just use theirs. But then again, wikipedia isn't blocked on my school computers, so I don't really need it unless I want to youtube or go on the escapist to watch movies during my free periods.
If you need something that works for 99% of web filters, search up tor browser on google, and use the website "torproject". This installs firefox and a program called tor on a flashdrive. I have tried it, and it has no viruses (scan it if you dont believe me) and it works.
In our school, we even lost the ability to use proxies. Our new system reports something to the IT people if you so much type a word you don't like, somehow it works with single letters aswell which I think is odd. And proxy or proxies is on their list of words they don't like. Adding that they filtered Google for us we basically just have a computer that we can't do anything on.
