How do I disable/bypass a Netgear firewall?
-
My dad put up a firewall on a website I use and I want to get past it. How do I do this? If I type in the URL it comes up with a black screen that says "Web site blocked by NETGEAR firewall." I tried signing into Netgear with the username "admin" and password "password" (the default) but it's not working. Since the username can't be changed, I he must have changed the password. Is this the same as the wireless code? Anyone know how I could find out? Is there a way to use ports to bypass it? Talking to him is out of the question, we don't get along.

Answer:
If your dad was savvy enough to enable website blocking he very likely also enabled site logging. Therefore, if you attempt to use a proxy service all he needs to do is look at the Netgear log files and see that you have been accessing a proxy website. Following this he just adds to the proxy website to the list of blocked websites. Moreover, there is no way to 'crack' the Netgear router if you don't know the password you're not getting into it. I think you're better off trying to understand WHY he blocked your website and talk to him in a polite and reasonable fashion.

Your dad must not want you on that site? But there is really no 'hacking' the firewall. Even if you are able to reset it, he will figure it out when he cannot log into it any more because you have changes the credentials. Depending on how smart the software on the Netgear device is, you may be able to circumvent it using a proxy server. Try a site like http://hidemyass.com. When the page loads, type in a URL and then click the little switch for SSL security. This should work unless the Netgear is also blocking "proxy sites". Even then, you may just need to search for free proxy servers (just Google "open proxy server list") until you find one that works.
