1.	Solve : How can I get past the home internet filter??
Answer» I'm living at my father's house and he has a content filter set up on our home network (it's called opendns) through a router. He is very religious so I can't really ask him to take it off. I have a computer savvy friend who said there is a way to MAKE my computer bypass the filter. I don't know how though. He said in order to do it he would have to be in range of the home network, but he's always too busy to come by my place to work on it. He did say it's fairly easy though, so could someone walk me through how to do this? It is a WPK2 secured network, and the router in netgear. I know the password to connect to the network (obviously), but I don't know how to edit any router settings from my computer or anything like that.It is your father's settings and his connection to the Internet. I think you should respect his property and his choices in this particular circumstance. No one here wants to help you defeat your father, it's just not an ethical thing to do in a respectable forum.
