How to Easily Bypass Most Firewalls
On Wikihow, there are many ways given to bypass firewalls at work, libraries, school. However, these ways are often complicated, and sometimes don’t work. A much easier way is to simply use the browser called Portable Firefox. You can put Portable Firefox on a USB flash drive and easily bypass almost any firewall/filter.
- Obtain a flash drive/memory card that has a memory of at least 64 megabytes. This should not be hard, because it is not very hard to find a card that small nowadays.
- Go to this site to download.
- Then click “Get it now”. This will download a compressed file to your computer.
- Open up the file that you downloaded. It should automatically uncompress. Another file with the same name as it, but uncompressed should appear next to the original file on the desktop.
- Copy the uncompressed file to your flash drive. You just have to click and drag the uncompressed file into your flash drive folder.
- Now you are done. When you get to school, or anywhere else that you want to use the internet completely, you just put your flash drive into that computer. Open up the file entitled firefoxportable. firefox should now start, and you are free to surf the internet without fear of getting blocked by a firewall.

I really can’t understand how using a portable version of a browser would make any difference in accessing the net, if in fact, you will have to configure the network settings in the exact same way as the other machines accessing the net, in the same environment.
For example, if the network requires you to set a specific proxy address for the browser to connect to, then you must configure your portable browser the same way. This means, it will only connect to the net when you point it to the same gateway (or proxy) that is being responsible for the firewall.
It makes no difference whatsoever, whether you’re accessing your browser from a local harddrive or an external storage device.
Really, what is your point??

In most of the corporates and offices you are not allowed to use and install any sort of external applications and softwares.So here comes the role of portable application, used as pug n play from usb drive.
Most of the offices their is a lease line and where you don’t need any proxy setting but if you work under proxy then you need to configure your setting.
On the other hands portable application like Firefox auto detects proxy setting from the other browsers like internet explorer.
Feel free to bother me in case you need further information regards…

@honey:
I’m sorry, but I thought the issue here was about bypassing firewalls, not about bypassing the lack of a local browser…
So maybe you are talking about one thing and the title on this post is suggesting another thing…
If all you need is a way to browse the net on a machine with no browser installed (never seen one of those yet – at least IE should always be present…), then your portable-app will do fine (as long as you dont’t happen to work on an USB-less environment – once, I’ve happen to work at a bank, where they even stripped out the floppy drives of every machine; and even though our Dells had onboard USB connectors, these were disabled through a very-much-customized Windows policy-enforcing application that loaded at every boot-up).
Anyways, it seems you failed to address the main issue, that is, to bypass the firewall connection. This is a much more complicated issue, and requires more expertise than just plugging in a USB-stick and running some portable app from it.
@Olympians:
Great comment, very elucidative. What worked? How?? When??
Thanks a lot!

I spent a lot of research on this and the winner is http://www.freedur.com. It beats lame proxify.net site – I can open any site through freedur.
I watch Youtube videos at work ! They have a portable version – I put it on my USB stick. Nothing to install – just run it and it jsut works.
Super easy proxy solution for me.
