How can I bypass time access blocks?

Question

Ok, so basically my computer has a strict parental controls program. The internet gets blocked at night, however, being a teenager I stay up later. I simply want to get online a little longer, by bypassing the time block. I know that time blocks simply limit access to the ip. I have a wireless card and I believe one option would be to change the ip number, but seeing as the block is a program, I'm not sure if it would work or the program would adjust to the new ip.

*please post anything on if this would work, how to do it, and/or other methods of bypassing*

P.S. It is not a block on just Internet Explorer, as I tried another browser. However, I dont think the ip address itself it blocked, because I have access to AIM and any other IM.

Answer 1

It is possible that it is only blocking TCP traffic on port 80. This is where HTTP traffic normally goes. You could try using a proxy that accepts connections on a different port (like 8080).
