Back when I was in highschool, I found out that there were actually two proxy servers used by the school to connect to the outside network. One for pupils, the other for staff.
Needless to say, it was pretty awesome that I managed to configure myself to use the staff's proxy server outwards, which was unrestricted.
See, what you need to do, is probe your schools network, probe probe probe! Probe anything and everything, until you find that one hole that'll let you go where you want.
(NOTE: I should also mention, I was put on detention for the rest of the year, because I was "hacking" the schools network (note: hacking is in quotes, I'm trying to point out how little the assistant principal understood technology). They never found out that I had found out this particular exploit though, I actually got in trouble for managing to gain access to a BF1942 demo installation).
