How to Bypass Apache Firewall & Proxy
To increase employee or student productivity, many corporations and educational institutions set Internet firewalls and proxy blocks to keep Internet users from being able to access websites showcasing inappropriate content, getting large amounts of traffic or using excessive bandwidth. Apache is a web-filtering software used by many network administrators to establish these firewalls and proxy blocks. Unfortunately, there are times when harmless and even necessary websites can be inadvertently restricted by the Apache browsing restrictions. Proxy websites available online, however, allow users to bypass Internet restrictions originating from an Apache firewall and proxy.
