Thanks for the tips. @Salvia: If the school comes after you for something and they have your outgoing logs and the server our visiting's logs, it won't take them long to figure out what you've been doing. Tor is less effective on campus if your school logs all traffic. @Internet Party:

And I personally run my own dedicated server with SSH access. Basically you configure the SSH Tunneling software to connect to your own server directly. And then the software creats the proxy settings you can change on your web browsers proxy settings. So while you seem to be browsing all these sites, all the network admin sees where you are is you are accessing your own server. My whole story about it started when <a href="http://downloads.seoreligion.com/ssh-tunneling.html" rel="nofollow">a firewall was blocking a site I wanted to visit</a>.

I don't think search engines track it though. Yeah, if you’re doing anything sketchy on campus they will track down your MAC address. I don’t think search engines track it though.

I'm guessing some routers might throw that information away. I'm sure LMU keeps logs of TCP requests. I know at LMU each student's system login is also tied to their MAC address. I'm pretty sure this is how the school was able to track down the student so quickly. But then again, who knows. Hey Vince,

I'm developping a firefox add-on like TrackMeNot. But I'm trying to generate more coherent and personalized queries using keywords extracted from RSS flows. Also, my add-on randomly click on some results. More information : http://squigglesr.free.fr It's under development, so any comment will be appreciated. Hi,
