Desiree: Tomorrow when I get back to work I will run hotspotshield then run the program and see what happens. Earlier when I mentioned the example of playing a game with others on a server, I was talking something like quentinc-playroom or rs games. I am not saying this is what I do at work, again, I would like to know how to get around this crap where I cannot access certain sservers/sites etc. I have a website where I like to upload new content when available but when I attempt to access the server to upload the files, I am unable to connect. Other examples are when I go to http://www.jaws-users.com/ I get a cannot display the webpage message. Even when I go to my own website I get that message. When I was googling hotspot shield, every link I clicked on I received that same message. I would find it hard to believe that there might be other problems such as the page could be underconstruction or temporarily down when I visited those same places a short time later from home and viola there they were. I could talk to the network administrator at work but been there and done that and no go. I mean if I need to do research on a student, how in the world can it be done when everywhere I go is blocked. Anyways, I will try the hotspotshield and then I will try your suggestion. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Desiree Oudinot Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 9:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] hotspot shield?
Hi, Accessing programs might be a little tricky once you've connected to Hot Spot Shield. For example, I could not use AIM when the shield was running. I guess it wouldn't connect to the AOL server. So what I had to do was connect Aim and then run Hot Spot Shield. As far as unblocking websites goes, it works like a charm, although I haven't had to use it in quite some time. If for whatever reason it doesn't work for you, you can try another similar program called Ultra Surf. It's free and a google search should turn up a download link.
