How Can I Get on Bebo at School If it is Blocked?

Inside Scoop

V Saxena
Accessing Bebo-the ultra-popular social networking website used for listening to music, reading books, and instant messaging friends-from school or any other restricted network (think China), requires using a proxy server to fool the computer's firewall.

A proxy server will hide Bebo from your school's network, as well as hide your school from Bebo. It is like an in-between man who talks to each side, without revealing either side's identity.

Keep in mind though that accessing a site such as Bebo behind a proxy wall means sacrificing speed of transmission. Due to the back-and-forth interactions between Bebo and the proxy & the proxy and Bebo, the loading time will be seriously effected. There is nothing you can do about this, except be patient.

To get you started, here is a list of two reputable proxy servers. All you must do is type in www.bebo.com into their URL box, hit enter, and you are all set to go. I wish you luck! I do ask though that you not access Bebo until your homework is complete. Otherwise, I may have to open up a can of you-know-what!
