Checking email on a blocked site

Is there any way to check my email if the yahoo mail site is blocked by IT? I’ve tried using anonymizers which let me get to the site..but how do I actually log in?

Thanks!
You will have to use an anonymous web proxy that supports transfering of cookies. make sure to disable javascript (if you wish to stay anonymous to yahoo) on your browser beacause your browser may leak your IP: http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/malicious_code_FAQ.html#steps.

there are numerous web proxys available online. my favorite is CGI Proxy because it is used by lots of people which makes finding one easy.

follow the following google search to find a secure (https://) CGI proxy:
http://google.com/search?q=intitle:”Start+Using”+intext:”CGIProxy”+filetype:pl+OR+filetype:cgi+https://&filter=0 if you remove the https:// part of that search, you can find more proxies (but they will be less secure): http://google.com/search?q=intitle:”Start+Using”+intext:”CGIProxy”+filetype:pl+OR+filetype:cgi&filter=0.

you can always use Tor (http://tor.eff.org) too (unless your IT staff has stopped you from downloading and/or installing programs). you may also want to read Tor MS Windows Install Instructions.

if your IT staff has not limited outgoing connections on every port except 80, you can try to use http proxies: http://samair.ru/proxy/. you will need to learn how to configure your browser to use proxies http://freeproxy.ru/en/free_proxy/howuse.htm.

whenever you login to your email make sure that you are using the “Secure” login version of Yahoo Mail. it will keep you safe. every proxy that you tunnel through may keep logs, which can be dangerous. if you value your privacy don’t read mail messages that you believe to be private or contain sensitive information (address, phone, etc). Make sure your Yahoo information/profile does not contain your name (especially your surname), address, phone number, etc. Don’t ever try to buy or do online banking with any one of the proxies listed above. your information/identity may be stolen.
