Getting around a proxy to play LAN games

Hello folks,

My school has a proxy set up on its network to prevent the playing of online games. However, they do allow LAN games. Is there a way to configure BYOND or something so that I can play with some of my friends at school? Please note that I'm not trying to break the rules. We ARE allowed to play games with each other on the network.

Thanks guys!

You don't need to do anything special to play over LAN (you're also saying it's allowed therefore unrestricted); you simply connect to the hosting computer via its IP in the local network and everything works as per usual. There was a somewhat similar topic about this recently: [link]

I'll give it another try but I'm pretty sure it blocked BYOND from logging in.

Probably because your school's web blocker also blocks in-bound connections.

Play as guest accounts or bring those key.txt files to school.
