How to Access Meebo behind a School or Goverment Firewall

Meebo lets you connect to most of the important chat networks
but it is often blocked by the network firewall. Here are a few tips.
First of all if you have never tried using it before, very few corporations know about Meebo right now due to the fact that it is a new up and coming corporation focused on instant messaging. So try going to www.meebo.com first just to see if the firewall blocks it
If it doesn’t block it, then use it to your hearts content but expect it to be blocked soon.
Now if it has been blocked there are two regular options from here:
One is using a proxy based website that redirects you through the firewall to allow you to view blocked sites. Examples…
http://proxy-browser.co.uk
https://proxify.com/
If you cant find a good proxy website that works properly, next comes the easiest and most hilarious solution.
take http://www.meebo.com
and add an S to the http part resulting in this…
https://www.meebo.com
By changing the http to https, many firewalls will consider it a secure connection and allow it to pass through.
Editors Note:
Another option that I would try is described here on the meebo blog as well. The software there allows you to setup a personal proxy from your home computer. By going from the school to your personal computer, the firewall will never know to block it.
Setting up a personal proxy like that, however, can be difficult. If nothing else works though, this method is almost unblockable.

Hello,
I work as a system level programmer in Dubai , and pagemod proxies were the only ones which got through the Etisalat Filter.
I have tried all sorts of proxy servers like TOR etc but all get pretty slow and inaccessible moreover pagemod has support
for myspace bebo facebook orkut and video sites as well.
Even tough web proxies like pagemod proxies gets blocked eventually I get new ones just by sending a mail to
pagemod@gmail.com or by subscribing to their services.
Presently their new ones are:
https://mapreference.info or
mapreference.info

Agh. It didn’t work for me, I think my school somehow blocks the word “meebo”. Before it got blocked, http://meebo36.com used to work. But anyway, is there something else? The imo.com didn’t work either. Any suggestions?
